- 2 ¼ cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter 1 stick
- 2 ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup boiling water
Instructions
- Melt chocolate in a microwave safe measuring cup or other glass dish at 20-30 intervals. Stop intervals once chocolate is almost melted and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool for at least 5-10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degree F and grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans and line with parchment paper.
- Mix the flour, baking soda and salt together and set aside.
- Beat butter until soft.
- Add brown sugar and eggs and beat with an electric mixer at a high speed for 5 minutes.
- Beat in the vanilla extract and melted chocolate.
- Alternate adding in dry ingredients with spoonful of the cup of sour cream, beating continually on low speed or stirring with a spoon.
- Then stir in boiling water and stir to blended in completely and smooth. (Batter will be thin)
- Pour evenly into the two greased pans.
- Bake for 40 minutes (8 inch pans) or 35 minutes (9 inch pans) or until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
- Cool in pans for 10 minutes then remove and and turn onto wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- Frost with this homemade chocolate buttercream frosting
- Use a quality chocolate bar like Ghiradelli
- Use cake flour or gluten free one-to-one flour like Bob’s Red Mill if desired.
- Best if flour is weighed to insure that it is not too dense
- Full fat sour cream is best.
- Helpful tips:
- To line pans with parchment paper, place the pan on parchment paper and with a pencil, draw a line around the pan and then cut out with scissors.
- Pour the one cup of boiling water into the same measuring cup/bowl that you melted the chocolate in and stir to get all the remaining chocolate out.
- Bake in a bundt pan if preferred
