Chocolate Bar Cake--another family fav



I have so many favorite cake recipes and this happens to be a keeper one, and as you can see, it's great with milk!  This comes from a Hershey Cookbook.

                      Chocolate Bar Cake

Preheat oven to 350F.

Grease and flour Bundt cake pan 

7 oz. milk chocolate bar broken into pieces 
1/2 c. Butter ( 1 stick)
1 c. Boiling water-- stir together in a small bowl until chocolate is melted.

2 c. Flour
1 1/2 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Unsweetened cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt

--add into large mixing bowl, then gradually add the chocolate mixture, beating until thoroughly blended, then add:

 2 eggs
 1/2 c. Sour cream
 1 tsp. vanilla

Blend well, then beat on medium speed for 1 minute.  Pour into prepared pan.  Bake 50 to 55 min or until toothpick comes out clean.  Cool 10 min, then remove from pan to wire rack.  Cool completely.  10 to 12 servings

                                                      Vanilla Glaze
 melt 1/2 stick of butter (1/4c) 
 gradually stir in 2 c. Powdered sugar
 2 to 3 Tbsp. hot water 
1 tsp. vanilla

 Beat with wire whisk until smooth and slightly thickened-not too thin though.  Drizzle on cake while the glaze is still warm.   This cake is moist and is so good served with vanilla ice cream!  It also makes a great Sunday Dessert!
