Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch fluted tube pan.
-
Whisk Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In another large bowl, using an electric mixer on high speed, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add Eggs: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, ensuring they are fully incorporated into the batter.
-
Blend in Vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract until combined, enhancing the rich chocolate flavor.
-
Combine Wet and Dry: In three additions each, beat in the flour mixture and sour cream, alternating between the two. Mix just until combined, being careful not to overmix.
-
Prepare Pan and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared fluted tube pan, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cooling: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes:
-
Testing Doneness: To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs, but no wet batter.
-
Storing: Store any leftovers (if there are any!) in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
