  • 3)Mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. Beat margarine and the remaining 1 ¼ cups of sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. One at a time, add eggs, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture alternately with milk, beating after each addition until smooth. Stir in chocolate mixture and vanilla extract. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-inch round layer pans.

Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Stir in 4 cups of powdered sugar, ½ cup milk and 1 tsp. Vanilla extract until smooth. Let stand, if necessary until ready to spread ( spreading consistency ) stir occasionally. Spread quickly. ( Add an additional 2 to 3 tsp. Of milk if the frosting becomes too thick.) Makes about 2 ½ cups or enough to frost tops and sides of 2 9-inch layer cakes.
