Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325ยบ F. Prepare bundt pan with nonstick baking spray, brushing with homemade cake goop (cake pan release), or by coating with shortening and lightly dusting with flour. Be sure to remove all excess flour from the pan.
- Cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add sour cream and then incorporate eggs one at a time, being sure the egg is well-incorporated before adding another. Add flour, salt, and vanilla. Then, mix in baking soda and then, finally, stir in white vinegar.
- Pour into prepared bundt pan and bake until a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 1 hour and 30 minutes. You can follow my tips for how to tell when your cake is done.

Robin,thanks for taking the time to reply. the only difference this time is Iโve got a new stand mixer, a kitchen aid,which Iโve wanted forever and finally got one. you would hope using a more expensive machine would be better,I make your chocolate cake all the time using the kitchen aid,itโs my go to cake and always comes out perfect! Iโve just bought some sour cream,so Iโm gonna give it another go! although, like I say,I normally use Greek yoghurt. Iโm determined to get this cake right! haha Iโll keep you posted. x
Iโve made this cake many times,but this time i donโt know what i did wrong! I do use Greek yoghurt instead of sour cream,but I always do. this time the texture was totally wrong. when sliced it isnโt cake like,itโs set,almost like fudge. I canโt quite explain it. my husband has still eaten it and says it tastes nice. but it really bothered me. and I canโt work out what I did wrong.
Xanine, since you have made this cake successfully many times in the past, it would seem that something changed when you made it this last time. Did you use any ingredients or brands, especially flour, that you didnโt use in the past? Did you use a different oven or could your oven not be heating consistently now? Are you in a different location than before such as a higher altitude or higher humidity? Are you using a different mixer than before that could cause the batter to be overmixed?
