In my family, this cake is requested for every single birthday and special occasion -- but it's a snap to make any time you're craving a delicious slab of homemade chocolate cake.
2 c flour
2 c sugar
1 c water
3/4 c sour cream
1/4 c shortening
1 1/4 t baking soda
1 t salt
1/2 t baking powder
2 eggs (at room temperature)
1 t vanilla
4 ounces melted, unsweetened chocolate (cooled)
Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour two 9-inch or three 8-inch pans. Add ALL ingredients to mixing bowl. Mix on low for 30 seconds, then on high for 3 minutes. (Scrape bowl as you go.) Pour evenly into cake pans and bake until cake springs back to the touch, 30-35 minutes. Cool 10 minutes, then carefully remove from pans. Allow to cool completely before frosting.
