How to Make Sour Cream Chocolate Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Drizzle with chocolate liqueur or your favorite chocolate ganache after cooling.
