Steps:
- 1. Melt butter and chocolate; stir in sugar and milk. Heat till sugar melts and let it boil to soft ball 5-6 minutes. Add 1/2 t. vanilla. Stir till it's cool enough to put on cake. (It hardens fast!)
- 2. NOTE: I put the icing on the first and second layers when it is still a little runny. I pour it over the top when it starts to stay pretty well, so the top looks pretty. I put waxed paper under the edges of the cake, so when the icing drips down, I can pull it back up the sides. After you finish icing the sides of the cake, you can remove the waxed paper at the bottom, so the plate will be clean.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom and sides of rectangular pan, 13 x 9 x 2 inches, or 2 round pans, 9 x 1 1/2 inches; lightly flour.
- Beat sugar, butter/margarine, vanilla and eggs in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl constantly. Beat on high speed 5 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in flour, baking powder and salt alternatively with milk on low speed. Pour into pan(s).
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes if using the rectangular pan, 30 to 35 minutes if using the round pans, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool rectangular pan on wire rack. Cool round pans 10 minutes; remove to wire rack. Cool completely.
- TO MAKE THE FROSTING: Mix all ingredients except vanilla in 2 1/2 quart saucepan. Heat to rapid boil, stirring occasionally. Boil 1 minute without stirring. Place saucepan in bowl of ice and water. Beat until frosting is smooth and of spreading consistency. Stir in vanilla.
Tips:
- Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter to emulsify properly and produce a smooth, consistent cake.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
- Gradually add the eggs to the batter, one at a time. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake at the correct temperature. A cake that is baked at too high a temperature will be dry and crumbly. A cake that is baked at too low a temperature will be dense and gummy.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
Conclusion:
Bonnie Butter Cake with Mama's Fudge Icing is a delicious and decadent cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, fluffy cake and rich, chocolatey frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you are looking for a special cake to make for your next party or gathering, this is the one for you!
