Chocolate Cake Recipe, Sour Cream Chocolate Cake Recipe
Looking for a moist chocolate cake recipe? Look no further! My recipe is an easy chocolate cake recipe made from scratch with secret ingredients of sour cream and coffee! It is a creamy and fudgy chocolate cake recipe that will satisfy your chocolate craving.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1½ cup white granulated sugar
- 1½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 large egg at room temperature
- 1 cup sour cream at room temperature
- ½ cup coffee hot
- 1 cup chocolate chip
Instructions
- Prep your oven preheating the oven at 350° Fahrenheit. Prep a 8″ round cake pan by lightly coating the pan with oil.
- In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients together (cocoa, sugar, all purpose flour, baking soda, and salt).
- Slowly add the wet ingredients into your bowl of dry ingredients one at a time excluding the hot coffee; (sour cream, egg, vanilla extract). Make sure there are no clumps and that your mixture is smooth. I recommend using a hand mixer or standing mixer for a smooth batter.
- Add in the chocolate chips to the batter, and add in the hot coffee on top. The hot coffee will partially melt the chocolate chips giving the batter the creamy chocolate texture while still having some pieces not melted to add texture to the cake.At this point, I recommend stirring by hand to mix the batter with the chocolate chip and hot coffee.
- Pour your cake batter into your prepped cake pan. Bake the cake in your 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 50 to 55 minutes or until the cake is fully cooked at your desired texture (check the cake to see if it is fully cooked by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake and if the tooth pick comes out clean then the cake is fully cooked). Let your cake cool and add your favorite frosting to the cake.
