If you don’t like dark chocolate, you can use milk chocolate instead. – The sour cream helps make this cake moist, but to make it even softer, you can use vegetable oil instead of butter for the batter. – This delicious cake is easy to make in advance. For best results, prepare it the day before you want to serve it. – Do not mix the dough too much. Otherwise the cake will become very thick.

If you prefer frosting, take a packet of your favorite frosting (chocolate frosting is always great, but other flavors like vanilla or buttercream are nice too) and apply it to the cake with a knife. You can also make homemade chocolate frosting by whisking the butter, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
