Years ago, I drove 4-1/2 hours to a cake contest, holding my entry on my lap the whole way. But it paid off. One bite and you'll see why this velvety beauty won first prize. �Sandra Johnson, Tioga, Pennsylvania *Test Kitchen Approved

Ingredients:
� 1 cup stick margarine or butter, softened (Imperial or Blue Bonnet)
� 3 cups packed brown sugar
� 3 large eggs
� 1/4 cup liquid egg substitute or 2 egg whites
� 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
� 2-2/3 cups all-purpose flour
� 3/4 cup baking cocoa
� 3 teaspoons baking soda
� 1/2 teaspoon salt
� 1-1/3 cups reduced-fat sour cream
� 1-1/3 cups boiling water
�
� FROSTING:
� 1/2 cup stick margarine or butter, cubed (Imperial or Blue Bonnet)
� 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
� 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
� 5 cups confectioners' sugar
� 1 cup (8 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream
� 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350�. Grease and flour three 9-in. round baking pans.

2. In a large bowl, cream margarine and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and egg substitute one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla.

3. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream, beating well after each addition. Stir in water until blended.

4. Transfer to prepared pans. Bake 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

5. For frosting, in a metal bowl over simmering water, melt margarine and chocolates; stir until smooth. Cool slightly.

6. In a large bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, sour cream and vanilla. Add chocolate mixture; beat until smooth. Spread frosting between layers and over top and sides of cake. Refrigerate leftovers.
