Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cups whole milk
- 0.5 cups vegetable oil
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed with a hand or stand mixer until just combined.
Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal. Mix until fully incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the pans from the oven and allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the cakes onto a wire rack and let them cool completely.
Frost and decorate the cake as desired. Classic chocolate buttercream frosting pairs beautifully with this rich fudge cake.
Slice and enjoy your Old Fashioned Sour Cream Fudge Cake, savoring its moist and chocolaty goodness!
