Ingredients
  • 2 ounce Unsweetened chocolate
  • 1/2 cup Butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 Eggs, large
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1/2 cup Flour, all purpose
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • 2/3 cup Walnuts, chopped
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat the oven to 325&# 194;°F (165ðC).

  6. 6
    Stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. 7
