Wellesley Fudge Cake

By mortonheat

I found this recipe in my grandmother's recipe box. It didn't list cooking time or oven temperature but it should be comparable to a box cake but much better tasting.

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar, divided
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 cups flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 cup milk
• 4 squares chocolate, melted
• salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and 1 cup of sugar. Add egg yolks, 1/3 cup milk and remaining sugar. Beat. Alternate flour sifted with baking powder with the rest of the milk. Add melted chocolate and vanilla last. Bake in (2) 8" X 8" pans or 1 large pan. Frost when cool.
