Chocolate Sour Cream Cake
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter
1/3 cup high-quality cocoa powder
1 cup water
1/2 tsp fine salt
2 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the ganache:
4 ounces good quality dark chocolate, chopped or broken into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
Directions
Lightly whisk flour with sugar and baking soda. In a small saucepan melt the butter with cocoa, water and salt. Pour this mixture in the flour and mix, until there is no visible dry flour. Mix both eggs one at a time, mixing well after each one. Put in the sour cream and mix well for the last time. The batter should be smooth and glossy. Pour it into a pound cake or bundt tin and bake for 50 to 60 minutes at 350 or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let cool completely.
For the ganache, heat the heavy cream, but don’t boil it. Pour it over the chopped chocolate, wait for a minute and whisk until smooth. Slowly pour it over the cooled cake and let drip down the sides or spread evenly with a spatula. Let the ganache set in the fridge for 15 minutes or at room temperature for about half an hour
