How to Make World's Best Chocolate Sour Cream Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add sour cream, milk, oil, vanilla, and eggs to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Gradually pour in the boiling water while mixing on low speed. The batter will be thin.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cooled, frost the cake with your favorite chocolate frosting.
