Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease two 9-inch-round baking pans or one 13 x 9-inch baking pan.

Step 2

Beat granulated sugar, 3/4 cup butter and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in large mixer bowl. Add eggs; beat for 1 minute. Beat in melted chocolate. Combine flour, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt; beat into creamed mixture alternately with 1 cup milk.

Step 3

Pour into prepared baking pan(s).

Step 4

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 20 minutes; invert onto wire rack(s) to cool completely.

If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted. Cool to room temperature.
