Maida Heatters Chocolate Sour Cream Cake

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under cakes

INSTRUCTIONS
This is one yummy cake, quite easy, too. I might use only 2 oz. of chocolate next time, but then again i’m a milk-choc-person. The cake has a rather tight, close crumb but isn’t heavy or pound cake like.

3 oz. unsweetened chocolate
½ c boiling water
2 c sifted cake flour
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
pinch of salt, 2 tsp. vanilla
6 oz. butter
1c sugar
2/3 c light brown sugar
3 eggs
1 c sour cream

heat oven to 375°, line and grease two 9” round pans.

melt choc in boiling water (not over heat). Sift together flour, leaveners and salt. Beat butter a bit to soften, then beat in sugars, vanilla and beat until fluffy. Add eggs, one by one, and beat until you have a fluffy, thick mass. Combine sour cream and chocolate, stirring until very smooth, add to butter mixure and beat only until incorporated. Sift over flour mix and beat in on low, only until combined, scraping bowl once or twice. Pour into pans and bake about 35 minutes.

Note: directions are mine, basically a shortened version of maida’s.
