Chad's Birthday Cake

My favorite part about making this was the chocolate dust during the mixing! (eating comes on Friday)

Fudgy Chocolate Cake

3/4 c. butter

3 eggs

1 c. sugar

1 c. brown sugar

2 t. vanilla

4 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares

1 1/2 c. milk

2 c. flour

3/4 c. cocoa

1 t. baking soda

3/4 t. baking powder

Cream butter and eggs with sugars with an electric mixer. Melt the chocolate squares and add in along with vanilla. Pour in some of the flour and cocoa to mix, alternating with milk until both are blended into the cake batter. Add baking soda & powder. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes for 9-inch pans, 45 minutes to an hour for a fluted tube pan. (I covered mine with aluminum foil for more even baking)

Frosting:

Melt 1 c. semisweet chocolate chips, add 1/4 c. butter

Stir in 4 oz. sour cream and 2 1/4 c. powdered sugar
