Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃).
Combine chocolate and hot water; stir until chocolate melts.
Let cool, then add food coloring and baking soda.
Stir and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat sugar, salt, eggs and shortening until fluffy.
Mix in a third of the flour, then ⅓ cup sour cream; repeat twice.
Add chocolate mixture; beat about 2 minutes on medium speed of mixer.
Pour batter into prepared pans.
Bake about 45 minutes for 13-by-9-inch pan (less for cake pans), or until toothpick inserted near center of cake comes out clean.
Remove from pans and let cool on rack before frosting.
