The Best chocolate sour cream cake recipe
I have been making this chocolate sour cream cake for years and it is always a hit. My kids love it because it is so moist and rich. I love it because it is simple to put together and uses ingredients I usually have on hand. The sour cream makes the cake incredibly tender and gives it a slight tang that balances the sweetness. This cake is perfect for birthdays, holidays, or just a regular Tuesday night dessert. It is also a great way to get some calcium and protein from the sour cream and eggs, so I feel a little better about serving it to my family.

You can try using a gluten free all purpose flour blend. Be sure to check that your blend contains xanthan gum or add some to help with the texture. The cake may be a bit denser.
