This is one of the moistest cakes I have ever made. It is one of my favorites, when it comes to chocolate cake..I used a whipped cream, cream cheese frosting, I didn't want too sweet of a frosting to overpower the delicious chocolate cake. Use whatever frosting you like. This cake will not disappoint! My pictures

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degree prepare 3 - 9 in. round cake pans, grease and flour. I cut parchment paper, spray non stick cooking spray under the paper, and on it, then flour.
- Gather your ingredients
- Dissolve 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.
- Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
- Add to creamed mixture alternately with cocoa mixture and sour cream.
- Pour into the three prepared cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 - 35 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Cool for 10 minutes, remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- Frosting: 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.
- Assemble the cake, and enjoy! I baked three cakes, but only used two. I froze the third one for a later use.
