2 cups sugar
4 oz unsweetened chocolate
1 cup of butter
1 cup water
1 cup milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
2 eggs
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1 baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
Heat sugar, unsweetened chocolate, butter and water on stove in a pot. whisk on medium-low until melted. Take off the stove. It will continue to cook but hopefully will be warm and not hot. Combine milk and apple cider vinegar together and add to pot. Add eggs and whisk together. In a separate bowl add dry ingredients flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Pour dry mixture into the chocolate pot slowly and whisk. Lastly add the vanilla extract. Pour into a tube cake pan that has been sprayed and floured (it has a hole in the middle). Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes. Will be done when it bounces back after being pressed. The toothpick method doesn't really work with this cake. Cool cake completely. Turn upside down on a platter to frost for a smooth side.
Frosting
1 1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 1/2 cup sour cream (room temperature, NOT cold)
Melt chocolate in microwave for 30 seconds and then 15 second increments until melted. Whisk sour cream a little at a time. Should look like pudding.
