Before you jump to Sour cream chocolate cake recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Healthy Eating Doesn’t Need To Be A Chore.
Healthy eating is now a good deal more popular than before and rightfully so. There are numerous diseases linked with a poor diet and there is a cost to the overall economy as individuals suffer from conditions such as heart disease and high blood pressure. While we’re constantly being counseled to stick with healthy eating habits, it is also easier than ever to depend on fast food and other convenience items that are not healthy for us. People typically believe that healthy diets demand a great deal of work and will significantly change the way they live and eat. In reality, though, simply making a couple of modest changes can positively affect daily eating habits.
Initially, you should be very careful when food shopping that you don’t unthinkingly put things in your cart that you no longer wish to eat. As an example, if you have cereal for breakfast, do you ever stop to see what the sugar and salt content is before purchasing? Having a bowl of oatmeal will give you the energy to face the day while protecting your heart simultaneously. If you’d rather not eat oatmeal on its own, try mixing in fresh fruits that can provide other healthy nutrients and as such, one small change to your diet has been achieved.
Obviously, it’s not at all difficult to start integrating healthy eating into your life.
We hope you got benefit from reading it, now let’s go back to sour cream chocolate cake recipe. You can have sour cream chocolate cake using 14 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Sour cream chocolate cake:
- Provide 3 squares unsweetened chocolate melted in the microwave or a bain Marie, cooled
- Use 2 1/4 cups sifted cake flour
- You need 1/2 teaspoon salt
- You need 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine (I have never used margarine for this recipe but it says you can)
- Take 2 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- Take 3 eggs
- You need 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- Provide 1 container (8 oz) full fat sour cream (the short stack container)
- Use 1 cup boiling water
- Prepare for cocoa frosting :
- Use 1 pint whipping cream (35% heavy cream)
- Take 2/3 cup confectioners sugar
- Take 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- Prepare 1 teaspoon vanilla
Steps to make Sour cream chocolate cake:
- Melt the chocolate using either method. A bain Marie is the chocolate squares are melted in a bowl fitted over a pan of simmering water. It's important the bowl you have the chocolate in does not come in contact with the water as you don't want to seize the chocolate. When I make this cake I roughly Chop the chocolate and put it in a microwave bowl. Zap for 10 - 15 seconds.. Remove the bowl and stir with a tiny Whisk or spoon. Continue this process until all melted. Remember the melt process continues a little bit with each stir episode. Make sure the chocolate is cooled down but still runny.
- Grease and flour two 9x1 1/2 round cake pans-tap out any excess flour
- Sift the flour, baking soda & salt onto a piece of wax paper… You're gonna use the wax paper like your scoop
- Preheat oven to 350f
- Beat the butter, sugar & eggs in a large bowl with electric mixer on high until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and chocolate
- Stir in the dry ingredients alternating with sour cream (I do this in three parts) beat well with spoon (or mixer on low.. You just want to make sure it's well mixed and smooth)
- Stir in 1 cup boiling water to the mix… It will be runny but that's fine.. Split the batter between both pans
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until centers spring back when lightly pressed with fingertips. Cool in pan for 10 minutes then turn into wire racks to cool completely. Split each layer in half crosswise to make 4 layers
- Fill and frost with whipped cocoa cream
- To make the frosting put all frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and Whip until the frosting is stiff. I have doubled the frosting recipe for the cake before.. You'll just have some leftover.. Nothing wrong with leftover frosting :)
- I have also added at times a good jam (eg. Raspberry jam) between the layers before frosting and turns out well
