Hey there, i was given this amazing chocolate cake recipe years ago but have sadly lost it. Had sour cream in it, you couldn't taste it just made it the most moistest cake i've had. Hope someone on here has this recipe. Really easy to make.

Do you remember what else was in the recipe?
chocolate chips maybe, or grated pumpkin, or black coffee, or grated apples & black coffee, or feijoas, or Zucchini?

Try this you won't regret it
I make this once a week makes a small rosat pan size cake
3.5 c flour 3.5 c sugar 3 t/s Baking powder 1.5 c cocoa 1 cup oil 2 cups milk 3 t/s baking soda 1 t/s salt 4 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups of boiling water (added at end)
Put all ingredients (except for the water) in a large bowl mix well to a batter. add boiling water and mix till smooth bake in the over at 160 for 1hr. you can split the mix and make two smaller cakes or make 1 smaller cake and put the rest into muffin tins the choice is completely up to you. this is an excellent cake if you have a large family or just want to impress people. gets moister by the day so stays nice and fresh very simular to mud cake.

Hey "hooksie60" I've tried that recipe recently & it's a great recipe for a big crowd. You can also use as a dessert with some fresh fruit salad. It's quite rich too.

Yummo, sounds good:-) Could you use less sugar do you think? Or would it change the texture too much??
