Cream butter, then add brown sugar and continue beating for 5 minutes.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add vanilla and chocolate.
Alternately blend in flour mixture and sour cream, 1/3 at a time on low speed of electric mixer.
Add boiling water, blending well (batter will be thin).
Pour into 2 greased and floured 9" round layer cake pans.
Bake at 350 degF for 35- 40 minutes or until cake tester inserted in centre comes out clean.
Cool in pans for 10 minutes; remove and finish cooling on racks.
Frosting: Combine chocolate, icing sugar, butter, hot water and egg.

Carefully ice cake (cake crumb is very tender).
You may not want to use the above icing due to the raw egg, so I would suggest making a seven minutes frosting.
