1 cup sour cream

1/3 cup milk (1% fat)

1 tsp ground nutmeg
5g
2 tsp cinnamon
6g
1 cup dark chocolate
230g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) round cake pan with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the self-raising flour, dry cocoa powder, ground nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer on medium speed.
4. Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Incorporate Sour Cream and Milk: Stir in the sour cream and milk until well combined.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
7. Fold in Dark Chocolate: Gently fold in the chopped dark chocolate with a spatula, ensuring an even distribution throughout the batter.
8. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
9. Bake: Place the cake in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve: Once the cake is completely cool, slice and serve. Enjoy your delicious spiced sour cream chocolate cake!

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.

With its rich chocolatey goodness complemented by the warmth of nutmeg and cinnamon, this Spiced Sour Cream Chocolate Cake is sure to become a favorite. Whether you’re serving it at a celebration or as a comforting treat at home, this cake is a delightful way to enjoy a mix of sweet and spice. Enjoy it fresh from the oven or with a dusting of powdered sugar on top for an added touch of sweetness.
