• Add cocoa and sour cream. Mix until just blended.
• Pour into greased and floured tube cake pan.
• Bake at 325° for 1 1/2 hours or until done.

Steps:

• Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer about 2 minutes or until soft and creamy.
• Gradually add sugars, beating at medium speed 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating until yellow disappears.
• Combine flour, baking soda, and cocoa; add to creamed mixture, alternately with sour cream and ending with flour mixture.
• Mix at lowest speed just until blended after each addition.
• Stir in vanilla.
• Spoon batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.
• Bake at 325°F for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Cool pan on a wire rack 10 to 15 minutes; remove from pan, and cool completely on a wire rack.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven; preheat oven to 325°.
• Grease the inside of a 10-inch Bundt pan; dust the pan with flour; tap out excess flour.
• Sift together the flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, using the paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium speed until very creamy, about 2 minutes.
• Gradually beat in the sugar.
• Increase speed to med-high and beat until the mixture is well blended and light, about 4 minutes.
• At medium speed, beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary.
• In a small bowl, stir the vanilla extract into the sour cream.
• If your mixer has a splatter shield attachment, add it now.
• At low speed, add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream mixture in two additions and mixing just until blended.
• Scrape batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Bake the cake for 65-75 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
• Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
• Invert the cake onto the rack and let cool completely.
• Recommended to glaze w/ Bittersweet Chocolate Glaze (recipe posted separately).

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray a coated 10- to 14-cup Bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray and dust with flour, making sure to coat all the details of the pan. Invert the pan and shake out any excess.
• Add the butter to a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the granulated sugar and beat on medium-high speed until very light and fluffy, about 4 minutes more. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Add the sour cream and vanilla and mix on medium speed until incorporated.
• Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Add to the butter mixture in 2 parts and mix on low speed until just incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, using a rubber spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
• Bake until golden brown and crackly on the surface and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out almost clean with just a few crumbs, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely before removing the pan. The cake will contract while it cools, making it easier to remove.
• Sprinkle the cake with confectioners' sugar. Top each slice with fresh berries if using.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides (to make it easier to remove the cake after baking) and grease the parchment.
• Combine the all-purpose flour, sweet rice flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
• Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and cream the mixture until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until combined. Scrape the bowl once more, then beat in the vanilla. Sift half of the dry ingredients over the egg mixture and beat just until combined. Beat in the sour cream and milk, then sift in the rest of the dry ingredients and beat just until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a small offset spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Bake the cake, rotating the pan halfway through, for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then gently loosen the edges with a small offset spatula and carefully transfer the cake (using the parchment sling to assist) onto a rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease and flour a 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add sour cream and eggs.
• Add flour and pinch of soda, mix well. Pour into a 8x4 inch loaf pan.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F
• Generously grease a 9 inch tube pan or bundt cake pan or two 8 by 4 inch, or two 9 by 5 inch loaf pans with non stick cooking spray.
• Melt the chocolate and set aside.
• Cream the butter and the sugar until fluffy.
• Beat in the eggs, sour cream, orange zest and extracts , blending well.
• Fold in the dry ingredients, scraping the bottom of the bowl to make sure it is all blended.
• Stir in the milk, and then fold in the chocolate.
• Remove 1/2 up of the batter and mix with the melted chocolate.
• Spoon white batter into pan and then drop spoonfuls of the chocolate batter on top of that. Swirl briefly with a knife to marbleize.
• Bake until cake springs back when lightly touched with fingertips, about 45-65 minutes (depending on pans used).
• Dust with confectioners' sugar or drizzle on melted white and dark chocolate or melted milk chocolate.
• Alternatively, you can glaze with an orange juice and confectioner's sugar glaze.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 C (350 F).
• Grease an 8 x 4 inch loaf pan and dust with powdered sugar, shaking off excess.
• Whip the cream until stiff; beat in eggs and vanilla.
• Sift together the remaining ingredients and add to the cream mixture.
• Stir to combine (the batter is quite stiff and sticky).
• Spoon batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the cake just begins to pull from the edges of the pan.
• Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out on rack.
• The cake will keep in the fridge for up to a week (if you can resist eating it, that is!) wrapped air-tightly in plastic wrap and foil.

Steps:

• Before you begin, bring all of the cold ingredients to room temperature: set out the sour cream, butter, and the eggs (separate the eggs while they are still cold) for about half an hour before making the cake batter.
• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease and lightly flour a 10-inch tube pan. Sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Combine the sour cream and vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
• Beat the butter with an electric mixer in a large bowl until creamy, about 30 seconds. Gradually add 2 cups of sugar and beat on high speed until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably paler in color. Add the room-temperature egg yolks one at a time, allowing each yolk to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next.
• Pour in one third of the flour mixture and mix on low speed until combined. Blend in half of the sour cream mixture. Continue adding the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips.
• Beat the egg whites and cream of tartar in a clean mixing bowl with clean beaters until soft peaks form. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until medium-stiff peaks are formed (lift your beater or whisk straight up: the tip of the peak formed by the egg whites should curl over slightly.) Use a whisk or rubber spatula to fold 1/3 of the meringue mixture into the cake batter to lighten it.
• Fold the remaining egg white mixture into the batter until combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Bake the cake for about 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the cake springs back when you touch it lightly and a toothpick inserted in the cake comes out clean.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for ten minutes before inverting the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
