This delicious chocolate velvet cake is made with cocoa, sour cream, and eggs, along with sugar and other ingredients. Frost this chocolate cake with chocolate, peanut butter, or vanilla frosting.

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 4 eggs, well beaten
  • 2 cups sour cream

Preparation:

Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, and baking soda. Combine beaten eggs with sour cream and vanilla. Stir the egg mixture into the dry ingredients. Beat for 3 minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into a greased and floured 9x13-inch baking pan.

Bake at 350° for 35 to 45 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean.

LOVED IT!!!!!February 05, 2009By Julescat19
"I made this cake for a party and everybody loved it. I had people that had seconds and thirds. Since then I have had people ask me to make this cake again... In fact, they only remembered the cake and not the party. It is a really rich but not sweet cake. It is also very heavy (weight) so if you make a 9x13 pan and plan to decorate it make sure you have a really strong base. I made a cream cheese frosting and it was delicious!!"
