LUCI JOHNSON NUGENT'S CHOCOLATE
WEDDING CAKE

1 stick butter
2 c. sugar
2 c. regular flour, sifted
2 eggs
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 c. buttermilk
3 sq. unsweetened chocolate
1 c. hot water
1 tsp. soda

Melt chocolate in double boiler first. Cream butter and sugar, add
eggs. Sift flour and add alternately with milk. Then add 1/2 cup hot
water to melted chocolate. Put other 1/2 cup water in a pan and bring
to a boil (THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT). To this add soda and immediately
add this to chocolate mixture. Pour chocolate mixture into the batter,
add vanilla. Bake in greased loaf pan at 325 degrees. Cake will pull
away from sides of pan when done.

Not necessary to frost the cake. Best by the third day, grows more
moist with age. Wrap in foil and keep it indefinitely in refrigerator.
