How To Make chocolate sour cream cake - sooo moist

Step 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.

Step 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.
