(I think you could use two round cake pans now) in 350 degrees F oven for 35 minutes or until done. When cold cut in half and put together as a two layer cake. Spread center, top and sides with Chocolate frosting.

Chocolate Frosting:

  • 3 squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 Tbsp. water
  • dash of salt
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Melt chocolate in top of double boiler. Add condensed milk gradually, mixing well; then add water and salt. Blend. Cook 3 minutes over rapidly boiling water, stirring constantly. Remove from fire. Add vanilla. Cool
