This is one of the moistest cakes I have ever made. It is one of my favorites, when it comes to chocolate cake..I used a whipped cream, cream cheese frosting, I didn't want too sweet of a frosting to overpower the delicious chocolate cake.
Use whatever frosting you like. This cake will not disappoint!

How to Make Chocolate Sour Cream Cake - Sooo Moist
- 1For the cake:
Preheat oven to 350 degree
prepare 3 - 9 in. round cake pans, grease and flour. I cut parchment paper, spray non stick cooking spray under the paper, and on it, then flour. - 2Gather your ingredients
- 3Dissolve cocoa in boiling water; set aside.
In a mixing bowl cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add vanilla. - 4Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- 5Add to creamed mixture alternately with cocoa mixture and sour cream.
- 6Pour into the three prepared cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- 7Cool for 10 minutes, remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- 8Frosting:
In a small bowl beat whipping cream until stiff peaks form; set aside.
In a large bowl combine cream cheese, sugar, salt and vanilla. Beat until smooth, then fold in whipped cream.
This frosting recipe is for a two layered cake. Double or make 1 1/2 batches. - 9Assemble the cake, and enjoy!
I baked three cakes, but only used two. I froze the third one for a later use.
