Description

Wow your family with this easy to make Sour Cream Chocolate Cake from-scratch recipe with ingredients most people have on hand. Ice with cream cheese icing (recipe included) or a buttercream Icing is just as good. I have never had this recipe fail and it is so good!

Ingredients

  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 1 cup Butter Or Margarine
  • 1 cup Water
  • ½ cups Cocoa
  • 2 cups All-purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • ½ cups Sour Cream
  • 2 whole Eggs, Beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • FOR THE CREAM CHEESE ICING:
  • ½ sticks Butter Or Margarine Sofftened
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, Softened
  • 1 pound Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.

For the cake, in a medium size saucepan combine butter, water and cocoa and cook over medium heat until boiling. Add to a mixing bowl and combine with the remaining ingredients. Beat 2 minutes. Pour into your prepared 9×13 pan and bake for 30-35 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Once the cake is completely cool, prepare the icing. Mixing all the icing ingredients well and beat until light and fluffy. Frost the cooled cake.

Notes:
Due to the cream cheese in the icing, you must keep it refrigerated.
This cake is great with cream cheese icing or buttercream icing.

Very moist and flavorful cake. I baked mine in a bundt pan and drizzled with a vanilla glaze. Perfect chocolate fix :)
