Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cups water
Confectioners sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9- by 2-inch round cake pan and dust with flour, knocking out excess.
  • Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
  • Beat together butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in vanilla.
  • Add flour mixture and water alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing just until combined.
  • Pour batter into cake pan and bake in middle of oven until springy to the touch and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 55 minutes to 1 hour. Cool in pan 1 hour. Invert onto a rack, then turn right side up and dust with confectioners sugar.

I followed the recipe exactly but the cake turned out dry and crumbly.

Disappointed. The cake was dry and the frosting was grainy.

This cake is everything I was hoping for and more! It's moist, chocolatey, and has the perfect amount of sweetness. I've already made it twice and it's a new family favorite.

Not a fan of this recipe. The cake was bland and the frosting was too sweet.

I made this cake for my son's birthday party and it was a huge hit! The kids loved it and the adults all asked for the recipe. It's definitely a keeper.

This cake is so moist and flavorful! The cocoa powder gives it a rich chocolate taste, and the sour cream makes it extra moist. I'll definitely be making this again for my next party.

Followed the recipe exactly and the cake came out dense and dry. Not sure what went wrong.
