A rich and moist chocolate cake made with the addition of sour cream for a velvety texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Whisk the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cream the sugars and butter: In another bowl, beat the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter together until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract and the sour cream.
  4. Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamy mixture, alternating with the hot water. Mix until just combined.
  5. Divide the batter: Carefully divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
  6. Bake the cakes: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool the cakes: Once baked, let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before flipping them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Frost and enjoy: Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing and an even texture. Consider adding chocolate chips for extra indulgence.
