Provided by Annalise

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder ((110 grams))
2 ½ cup all-purpose flour ((330 grams))
1 ¼ teaspoon salt ((5 grams))
2 ½ teaspoon baking soda ((11 grams))
2 cups granulated sugar ((400 grams))
3 large eggs
1 ¼ cups sour cream ((282 grams))
1 cup vegetable oil ((267 ml))
1 ¼ cup coffee ((295 ml))
15 ounces semi-sweet chocolate (, chopped (425 grams))
1 ¼ teaspoon instant espresso (, optional)
2 cups sour cream (, at room temperature (450 grams))
¼-½ cup light corn syrup ((59-118 ml))
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup icing ((above))

Steps:

  • To make the cake, preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour three 8-inch or 9-inch cake pans and line bottoms with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda.
  • In another bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and vegetable oil. Add coffee and whisk until smooth.
  • Add wet ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients and whisk until no streaks of dry ingredients remain. Do not overmix.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25-35 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Melt the chocolate and instant espresso (if using) in a bowl placed over a pan of simmering water. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • In another bowl, combine the sour cream, vanilla extract, and ¼ cup corn syrup. Add the melted chocolate and stir until smooth. Taste for flavor and add additional corn syrup a tablespoon at a time to reach the desired sweetness. (¼ cup was just the right amount for me.) The icing will have a thin consistency, but will continue to thicken as it cools to room temperature.
  • To make the filling, beat whipping cream to medium peaks. Fold together with 1 cup of the chocolate sour cream frosting until combined.
  • Place one cake layer on a cake stand or plate and cover the top with half of the filling. Place another layer on top, followed by the rest of the filling.
  • Frost cake with chocolate sour cream frosting as desired.. Store the cake in the fridge until ready to serve, along with any leftovers.

THE WORLD'S FASTEST CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM CAKE!! MAYBE THE BEST!



The World's Fastest Chocolate Sour Cream Cake!! Maybe the Best! image

So so so good! So so so little work. Well, yeah, come on, you DO have to measure the ingredients. And a simple glaze would be good. But if you are really, I mean REALLY, pressed for time, place a paper doily on the cake, sift confectioner's sugar over it, lift carefully and there you have it. And this is sooo much better than a cake mix. I use an 8" square scalloped pan; that makes it look really special. Nawww, that's not cheating. It's just taking a little help where you can find it! Recipe was found somewhere on the internet April, 1998. That's how long I've been making it.

CHOCOLATE-SOUR CREAM CAKE & CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER FROSTING



Chocolate-Sour Cream Cake & Chocolate Peanut Butter Frosting image

This is the traditional birthday cake in my brother's house. I ALWAYS look forward to having it again. It is moist, rich and decadent! If you use chunky peanut butter in the Frosting, omit the chopped peanuts. PLEASE NOTE, this is a recipe that you really need to make BOTH the cake and the frosting to appreciate. It is the combination that makes it so good. If you are looking for JUST a chocolate cake recipe, you should try Recipe #2496, not this one. ;)

CHOCOLATE SOUR CREAM CAKE

Found this recipe at SmittenKitchen. This cake just bowled me over! Super moist and flavorful, but really light. It's hands-down the best from-scratch cake I've ever made, so I posted here for safekeeping!

Provided by eknecht

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 1 three layer cake, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch process
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Butter the bottoms and sides of three 8-inch round cakepans.
  • Line the bottom of each pan with a round of parchment or waxed paper and butter the paper.
  • Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl, and whisk to combine them well.
  • Add the oil and sour cream and half the water, whisk to blend; then gradually beat in the remaining water.
  • Blend in the vinegar and vanilla, and whisk in eggs, beating until well blended.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and be sure the batter is well mixed.
  • Divide among the 3 prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester or wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
  • Let cool in the pans for about 20 minutes. Invert onto wire racks, carefully peel off the paper liners, and let cool completely.
  • (Note: These cakes are very, very soft. I found them a lot easier to work with after firming them up in the freezer for 30 minutes. They'll defrost quickly once assembled. You'll be glad you did this, trust me.).
  • Frost with desired frosting. For the Peanut Butter Frosting and Glaze with the original recipe: http://smittenkitchen.com/2008/08/chocolate-peanut-butter-cake/.
