Bake at 350 degrees for 25-40 minutes, until standard cake test shows done in center. After removing cake from oven, poke holes in cake with fork.

Icing Directions:

In a small pan on the stove, melt the chocolate. Add sugar, and slowly stir in boiling water. Separately boil the Tablespoon of water, and dissolve the cornstarch and salt. Add this to the chocolate mixture. Boil the icing until it thickens to spreading consistency. Add butter and vanilla. Spread at once.
