2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sour cream
Melt butter and chocolate in a 3-quart heavy saucepan on very low heat, stirring constantly. Cool. Blend in 1 1/2 cups of the sugar.
Add two of the eggs, one at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition until blended. Blend in milk and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract.
