This cake is amazing, plain and simple. I followed the recipe as close to exactly as possible. We had lower fat sour cream so I used that and we beat the cake by hand but other than that we did it as written. This cake is just plain delicious… flavorful with that hint of “hmm what’s that” (sour cream), moist, fluffy but still good structure. There’s also the hint of nostalgia. It tastes very similar to the simple but delicious cakes my grandma used to make. I never take the time to leave reviews. If you’re on the fence, make this cake!
Note: We used the Betty Crocker Supermoist Butter Recipe Yellow cake mix for where the recipe calls for yellow cake mix.

Thank you for this recipe!

Wow! Making this recipe literally brought me back in time to my mom-mom’s kitchen where she would make this cake for my aunt’s birthday. Thank you so much for allowing me to relive these special childhood memories through your delicious recipe! The icing is my favorite part! It will now become my go-to chocolate icing. Your recipes are the bomb!

What did I do wrong?! The cake fell (I have not not had that problem with a cake in decades!) and the frosting was much too thin (I added three more cups of powdered sugar, making for a VERY sweet frosting). The cake tasted ok but not worth the time.

I have always loved what sour cream can do for a cake. Just yummy. Made this for the first time today. Very easy and very good. I am all for easy. I do something a bit different with the frosting. Make your own frosting (buttercream is so wonderful) or use canned. Let the cake sit for about 5 minutes and then frost it hot. The frosting will melt down and leave a beautiful chocolate glaze over the whole cake. I usually top with crushed pecans but you can use your favorite nuts or coconut. Use your imagination. I will bake this again.

Made this cake and it was delicious. Super moist. Frosting nice and creamy and not super sweet. Will definitely be making this again.

I made this for a luncheon at work and everyone loved it. Perfectly moist and the frosting wasn’t too sweet. It made just enough to cover the top.
