I used a Bundt pan for the cake pictured. I dusted it with confectioners' sugar and inverted it, just to be a little different.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This is a wonderfully moist and delicious chocolate cake.  Surprisingly, the beer really enhanced the flavor of the chocolate, and the sour cream helped to make it so moist.  If you are a chocolate lover then this is a must try.  (And it was easy too!)
