Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a circular 9 inch cake tin with greaseproof or non-stick paper and grease the tin.
  2. Melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over hot water. Stir gently until smooth.
  3. .Beat the eggs with the sugar, and then stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and vanilla extract.
  4. Fold in the melted chocolate and butter mixture gradually. Then fold in the sour cream.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
  7. . To make frosting: Heat the 2/3 cup of whipping/heavy cream in a saucepan, then stir in the 9 ounces of chopped chocolate until smooth. If too thick, add more cream, if too thin, add more chocolate. Frost the cake, and then add optional chopped nuts or coconut if desired.
  8. I have tried this cake in both a 9 inch pan and several small 4 1/2 spring form and one 4 3/4 pan. I think the smaller the pans the better the results. But I have only every really done the little pans once. The big 9 inch pan I have done twice. It also has a lot to do with the baking powder. I would also say flour amounts.
