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.

Provided by Joy Cho

Time 1h45m

Yield 16 servings (one 8-inch square cake)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3/4 cup (105 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (105 grams) sweet rice flour, such as Mochiko
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (150 grams) full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
2 tablespoons milk, at room temperature
1 heaping cup (200 grams) semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides (to make it easier to remove the cake after baking) and grease the parchment.
  • Combine the all-purpose flour, sweet rice flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
  • Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and cream the mixture until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until combined. Scrape the bowl once more, then beat in the vanilla. Sift half of the dry ingredients over the egg mixture and beat just until combined. Beat in the sour cream and milk, then sift in the rest of the dry ingredients and beat just until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a small offset spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Bake the cake, rotating the pan halfway through, for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then gently loosen the edges with a small offset spatula and carefully transfer the cake (using the parchment sling to assist) onto a rack to cool completely.

SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE CAKE

Yield Makes one 9-inch round double layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

For cake layers:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (not Dutch process)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
1/3 cup water
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/3 cups firmly packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
For frosting
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup whipped cream cheese
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Make cake layers:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, knocking out excess flour.
  • Into a bowl sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a small bowl whisk together sour cream, water, and vanilla.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture to butter mixture in batches alternately with sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture and beating until batter is blended well.
  • Divide batter between prepared pans and smooth tops. Bake layers in middle of oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool cake layers in pans on racks 10 minutes before turning out onto racks to cool completely. Cake layers may be made 1 week ahead and frozen, wrapped well in plastic wrap. Thaw layers before proceeding with recipe.
  • Make frosting:
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer beat together butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add remaining ingredients and beat until combined well.
  • Assemble cake:
  • Arrange 1 cake layer on a large plate and spread with about 3/4 cup frosting. Top frosting with remaining cake layer. If making tepee birthday cakes, stop here and reserve remaining frosting. If making conventional layer cake, spread top and side of cake with remaining frosting.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter come together smoothly and evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the center.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

This chocolate sour cream cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The cake is moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor. The sour cream adds a tangy flavor that balances out the sweetness of the chocolate. The frosting is smooth and creamy, and it perfectly complements the cake. Whether you are a beginner baker or an experienced pro, you will love this recipe.
