INGREDIENTS
•
Preheat oven to 325, and prepare your cake pans…
•
2 boxes of chocolate cake mix (the more chocolaty, the better, and I’ve used boxes that are 16.5 oz (468 g) or 15.25 oz (432 g), both work well)
•
2 cups flour (all purpose)
•
2 cups sugar
•
1/4 cup cocoa (I like dark cocoa)
•
1 1/2 tsp salt
•
2 2/3 cup water
•
4 Tab oil (canola or vegetable)
•
2 tsp vanilla
•
2 cups sour cream
•
6 whole eggs
•
Mix first 5 (dry) ingredients together with a whisk, in a large bowl.
•
Add remaining ingredients and beat on low for 2 minutes. (I use beater blades in my Kitchen Aid. They’re perfect. Link, HERE.)
•
Pour into greased and floured (or sprayed with “Pam”, the baking kind with flour in the ingredients) pans, about 3/4 full.
•
Bake @325 until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
