Best Moist Chocolate Cake Recipe: Ingredients

2 cups of all-purpose flour

1 cup of cocoa powder - I use Dutch process cocoa

2 cups of white sugar

1 tsp. of baking powder

1 tsp. of baking soda

3/4 tsp. of salt

2 large eggs - beaten

1 cup of sour cream

1/2 cup of oil - I use olive

1 tsp. of vanilla extract

1 tsp. of apple cider vinegar

1 cup of HOT water

Chocolate Sour Cream Cake Recipe: Method

Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a sifter. Sift twice.

To this flour mixture, add the eggs, the sour cream, the vanilla, the oil and the water. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well blended.

Heat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Pan Size Options:

You can butter 2 8-inch round cake pans and then line them with wax paper. Divide the batter between both pans and bake for 35 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. This works out well for a two layer cake such as a birthday cake.

You can use a 9x13 greased pan. When I do this I also add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Bake for 45 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. This works well for potlucks and such.

You can divide the batter into muffin cups. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.

When the cake is cool, you can frost it...a favorite is chocolate buttercream frosting.

Variation to this Chocolate Cake: Chocolate Buttermilk Cake

This is so easy to do: just replace the sour cream by 3/4 cup of buttermilk. Follow the recipe as above.
