Spiced sour cream chocolate cake FAQ:
The cake should be baked in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a skewer into the center; it should come out clean.
Once the cake is completely cooled, store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate it for about a week or freeze it for up to 3 months.
Yes, you can substitute the dark chocolate with semi-sweet chocolate or milk chocolate, but this will alter the flavor and sweetness of the cake.
You can substitute sour cream with plain yogurt or buttermilk, which will give a similar tangy flavor and moisture to the cake.
This recipe requires a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan. Make sure to grease and line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
Tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This ensures a smoother batter and even baking.
- Sift the dry cocoa powder with the self-raising flour to avoid lumps and ensure even distribution of the cocoa throughout the batter.
- Using high-quality dark chocolate will significantly enhance the flavor of the cake.
- Don’t over-mix the batter once you add the flour; this will keep the cake tender and prevent it from becoming dense.
- To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out clean or with just a few crumbs but no wet batter.
