Wellesley Fudge Cake

From georgesgirlnumber1 16 years ago

It's a great tasting chocolate cake and well worth the work. Been in my family for years and everyone loves it.

Cake:
Place chocolate and water in top of double boiler
Cook adn stir until chocolate melts
Add 1/2 c. sugar
cook and stir 2 minutes
Cool to lukewarm.
Sift flour once
measure
add soda and salt and sift three times (yes, you have to do it three times!!!)
Cream butter and add 1 1/4 c of sugar gradually
cream together until light and fluffy
Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly
Add vanilla and blend
Then add flour alternately with milk, beating after each addition until smooth
Add chocolate mixture
blend
Pour into one greased and floured 13 x 9" pan
Bake at 350 for approximately 30 minutes.
Frosting:
Sitr all ingredients, except vanilla, together in heavy saucepan over low heat until chocolate melts
Bring to full rolling boil, stirring constantly
boil one minute
Off heat, beat until lukewarm
stir in vanilla and continue stirring until good spreading consistency.
(I put it in refrigerator for a minute or 2 when I get tired and then resume stirring)
Frost cooled cake
cut in squares and top each square with a cherry

all in the family have tried the various shortcuts with this recipe and it just does not fly...you have to go all the way through and follow to the T. That sifting 3 times DOES make a difference.
