Sour Cream Fudge Cake

This cake is rich, moist, and chocolaty. I recently baked this Sour Cream Fudge Cake for a special occasion, filling it with Nutella and frosting it with vanilla butter cream icing. Everyone loved it! Give it a try.

Sour Cream Fudge Cake

Ingredients

For the cake:

• 1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2/3 cup cocoa
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

For the filling:

• 1/2 cup Nutella

For the butter cream frosting:

• 1 stick butter
• 3 cups confectioner sugar
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

1. Heat oven to 350°. Spray two 8 or 9 inch round pans with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt, sour cream, milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until combined, scraping the bowl occasionally, about 3 minute. Pour evenly into pans.
3. Bake until wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean, about 28 to 32 min. Allow to rest for 15 minutes. Remove from pans and place on wire rack. Cool completely! If you don’t let the cake cool before assembling it, the Nutella will melt and you’ll have a mess on your hands.
4. For the frosting: Beat the butter with electric mixing until fluffy. Add confectioner sugar, sour cream, and vanilla, and beat until combined, fluffy, and of spreading consistency.
5. Place one cake layer on a plate. Spread Nutella over it. Top with second layer, and then cover sides and top with butter cream frosting.
