Super Moist Mocha Cream Cake -- 13 X 9 Pan or Two 9-Inch Layers image

My MIL's recipe -- Another cake from the great state of Texas that my family has enjoyed for about 40 years -- This cake is made with more butter, and 1 cup of sour cream, instead of the 1/2 cup called for in most recipes here on Zaar. ******NOTE: Feel free to make this cake the day before you plan to serve -- as some of the reviewers have mentioned, it is even better the day after baking! ****** Can also be baked in two 9-inch layers (metal pans) at 350F for 25-30 minutes!

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The frosting was a bit too thick and heavy, but the cake itself was moist and flavorful. I think I would try a different frosting next time.
