--------------------------------CAKE BATTER-------------------------------- 
      2 c  Cake flour 
      2 ts Baking soda 
    1/2 ts Salt 
    1/2 c  Butter or margarine 
      2 c  Granulated sugar 
      3    Large eggs 
  1 1/2 ts Vanilla 
      3 oz Unsweetened chocolate 
      1 c  Dairy sour cream 
      1 c  Water; boiling 
 
----------------------------------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.
