Chocolate Lovers Favorite Cake

This cake has in the year since I first made it become required for me to be invited to a family function. It is decadent but not overly sweet. It stays moist and I find that I like a bit more of the almond extract. For birthdays a basic cream cheese frosting compliments it perfectly. Thank you for posting this recipe.

Another winner from Marg. Your recipes never disappoint. I made this as an extra to take to a baby shower that I attended. The guests went crazy for this delicious cake. It was wonderful, moist, tender, rich, light, fluffy and very tasty. I used a chocolate ganache to frost this treat and found that it didn't need anything else. Thanks for sharing another wonderful chocolate cake recipe.

My friends never would have guessed i had not spent hours on this cake. I grew up eating something similar with strawberries and ganache

I wanted to make a chocolate cake and this recipe caught my eye. I had already started pouring and mixing when I realized I only had about 1/2 a cup of sour cream. All I had in my fridge was one vanilla yogurt and one blueberry. I added enough of the yogurt to make two cups, reduced the melted butter to 1/2cup ( I had 5 XL eggs), baked it for 65 minutes. After it cooled I dusted it with powdered sugar and ohhhhhh, so good. Thank you Marg for the wonderful recipe. I will make this again, and next time I will follow the recipe :)

Everyone loves when I make this cake and they actually request that I make it at any chance! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out wonderfully!
