Dark Chocolate Cake

My mom copied this recipe out of Woman's Day magazine (I think). Instead of baking chocolate, we just used cocoa (whatever the transfer rate is---check a cookbook). If you don't like dark chocolate, you could probably lighten this up by using less cocoa and not using it at all in the frosting. But I recommend serving it as-is with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Cake:

3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
2 1/4 cups flour
1 cup milk
6 oz unsweetened baking chocolate

Frosting:

4 oz unsweeted baking chocolate
1 cup butter
7 oz marshmallow fluff or creme
1 cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Wait until completely cooled to frost.

Enjoy!
