How to Make Soured Milk Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the soured milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  4. Stir in the raisins (if using).
  5. In a small bowl, dissolve the baking soda in the boiling water. Add to the batter and stir gently to combine.
  6. Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
