          -----cake batter-----
     2 c  Cake flour

   1/2 ts Salt
   1/2 c  Butter or margarine
     2 c  Granulated sugar
     3 lg Eggs

          -----filling-----
   1/2 c  Butter or margarine
    12 oz Caramels
     1 cn Sweetened condensed milk

 Preheat oven to 350 . Grease and flour a 9x13 pan. Set
 aside. Sift together cake flour, baking soda and salt. Set
 aside. Beat butter and sugar together in a large mixing
 bowl. Blend in the eggs and beat until light and fluffy.
 Stir in vanilla and melted chocolate. Alternately, add the
 dry ingredients and the sour cream to the butter mixture.
 Beat well after each addition.

 Stir in the boiling water. (Batter will be thin.) Divide
 cake batter in half. Pour one half into prepared cake pan.
 Bake 10-12 minutes or until firm to touch. Remove from
 oven. Meanwhile, prepare filling. Mix the butter, caramels
 and sweetened condensed milk in a sauce pan and melt over
 low heat, stirring often. Can be melted in the microwave.
 When melted, pour the mixture over the half baked cake.
 Pour the remaining cake batter over the caramel mixture and
 return to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until firm to
 the touch. (It took me 25 minutes) Cool and frost or serve
 with whipped cream or a la mode.
