Our favorite birthday cake (except for angel food cake for Chris). It is wonderful with Mocha Frosting.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (275 F for convection oven).
2. Prepare the following custard. Cook and stir in a double boiler over -not in- boiling water the unsweetened chocolate, milk, brown sugar, and 1 egg yolk. Remove from heat when thickened,
3. Have other ingredients at about 70 degrees F.
4. Sift before measuring 2 cups of cake flour. Re sift with baking soda and salt.
5. Beat the butter until soft. Add the sugar gradually. Blend until very light and creamy. Then beat in the egg yolks one at a time.
6. Add the flour to the mixture in 3 parts alternating with a mixture of the water, milk and vanilla. Stir the batter until smooth after each edition.
7. Stir in the chocolate custard.
8. Whip the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Fold lightly into cake batter,
9. Baker in greased pans for about 25 minutes (45-55 minutes in convection oven).
10. Let cool in cake pans for 5 minutes then remove to cool on a rack.
11. Spread when cool with mocha icing.
