Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    In a 3- to 5-quart saucepan, combine margarine and chocolate over low heat. Stir constantly until melted and smooth, about 3–5 minutes.

  2. Step 2.

    Remove the pan from heat. Add sugar, eggs, and vanilla, and mix well until fully incorporated.

  3. Step 3.

    Add flour and stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

  4. Step 4.

    Spread the batter evenly into a buttered 9x13-inch baking pan.

  5. Step 5.

    Bake at 350°F for 37–38 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

  6. Step 6.

    Cool the pan on a wire rack completely before frosting, if desired.
