Step 1: Cream butter, sugar and egg yolks together.
Step 2: Add melted chocolate.
Step 3: Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together. Add to butter mixture, alternately with sour milk. Mix thoroughly; add vanilla.
Step 4: Pour batter into a greased and floured pan (I used 8 inch round cake pan).
Step 5: Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes. Cool.
Step 6: FROSTING: (this made a ton of marshmallow like frosting). Place sugar,water and egg whites to cook over boiling water (in double boiler). Beat constantly for 5 minutes with a dover beater (I'm guessing a whisk on that one). Add the peppermint extract or crushed after dinner mints. Continue beating until frosting is thick and creamy.
Step 7: Remove from heat and continue beating until frosting is of spreading consistency. Spread over top and sides of cake.
