Chocolate Better-Than-Sex-Cake
1 Chocolate Cake Mix (I like Duncan Hines)
4 eggs 1/2c. Veg. Oil 1/4 c. water
1 tsp. vanilla 1 8oz. sour cream
1 3/4 c.semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. chopped pecans
Remove a spoon or so of the cake mix to coat the chocolate chips and nuts. Set aside. Combine cake mix, eggs, oil, water, vanilla and sour cream. Mix well.Fold in chocolate chips and nuts. Bake in greased and floured 10 in tube pan @350 for 50-55 min, or until tests done. Remove from pan and frost when cool.
Frosting:
1 stick margarine
1 c. brown sugar
/4 c. evaporated milk enough powdered sugar
Melt butter in saucepan and add brown sugar and cook constantly till bubbly. Add milk and continue to cook and
stir till smooth. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar till spreading consistency. The frosting becomes firmer
as is cools, so resist the temptation to add too much. Adding the sugar to the hot mixture I think makes it taste
better.
