Of course, you also have to sift the dry ingredients together first before combining and alternating the moist with the dry ingredients. Afterwards, it is just pouring the batter into a well-greased sheet cake pan to bake.
You don’t have to frost with a deep chocolate frosting, but it is sinfully decadent with how that extra measure of chocolate seems to compliment each bite of this tender cake. If you prefer a fluffy white frosting, then it is also a winner, only different. Either type of frosting really is wonderful with something special to offer.
Furthermore, if you don’t feel in the mood to brew a pot of coffee just to make this sour cream chocolate cake, then here’s a tip. Make a cup of strong instant coffee and it works just as well.

Sour Cream Chocolate Cake
3 cups of flour
