Sauce: 1 cup sugar 6 tbsp. water 2 tsp. cream of tartar 1/2 cup heavy or whipping cream 1/4 cup butter, diced
Cake: 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. boiling water 3/4 cup butter, softened 2 1/4 cups sugar 3 large eggs 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour 1 1/2 tsp. baking soda 3/4 tsp. salt 1 1/2 cups sour cream
Directions
For Sauce: Combine sugar, water and cream of tartar in a medium saucepan. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium high and boil sauce without stirring until it is dark golden brown. Remove pan from the heat. Carefully add cream and stir until sauce is smooth. Whisk in butter until melted.
For Cake: Whisk together cocoa and boiling water in a small bowl. Strain mixture into a medium bowl and refrigerate until cool.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease the inside of a 9x13 inch baking pan. Cream together the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Sift together flour and baking soda in a medium bowl. Stir in salt. Add flour mixture alternately with sour cream in 3 additions. Stir in cooled cocoa mixture. Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake cake about 50 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Transfer cake to a rack and cool slightly. Cut warm cake into squares, spoon caramel sauce over and serve.
Serves 10 to 12.
