Directions
Place chocolate in top of a double boiler; bring water to a boil.
Reduce heat to low; cook until chocolate melts.
Set aside to cool.
Cream softened butter; gradually add sugar, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add chocolate and vanilla; mix just until blended.
Combine flour, soda, and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixure.
Stir in boiling water. Batter will be thin.
Pour batter into 2 greased and floured 9-inch round cakepans.
Bake at 350℉ (180℃) F for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.
Split cake layers in half horizontally to make 4 layers.
Spread Whipped Cream Filling between layers; spread Chocolate Mocha Frosting on top and sides of cake.
