Glenda! I made your cake

11 years ago

I just pulled it out of the oven. The Chocolate Sour Cream Cake. I had to double check to make sure I had wrote down baking soda right instead of needing to use baking powder, YEP! Baking soda.

Sorry for the shout out but I had to let you know that this is a wonderfully easy GOOD cake! Just enough for 2 to enjoy for a couple days. David loves sweets so much and since he had to work today on Veterans day I whipped it up for him. He is going to enjoy it so much for his dessert tonight.

Thanks for the recipe! I sent it to my chocolate loving daughter as well. She will enjoy it too.

Glenda-I made the Blondies
Q

I wish I had seen the recipe - I made blondies last night too. The recipe called for chocolate chips, white chips and nuts but I don't use nuts anymore due to my son's allergies so I added some butterscotch chips. I'm not a fan of white chips or butterscotch chips so I wasn't crazy about them but hopefully my coworkers will like them. I don't think any of Paula Deen's recipes are her original recipes. I can find them all in my vintage cookbooks but she certainly knows how to pick them. Well, I think her first couple of cookbooks were filled with old classics that she's been making for years. Now I think she's just making recipes that her team develops for her, at least that's the way it seems to me.

I make this cake at least twice a month. So easy and delicious. This week I made it in a cake pan that has two compartments. It was perfect. My neighbor will say, it will be a perfect day if I had Miss Glenda’s cake. Perfect as thirty minutes later I leave a small cake on her porch. This way we are both happy.

So glad everyone enjoyed it! I just love it cause of the buttery taste and the chewy texture with the crisp edges. Thanks! :o)

Glenda, David LOVED the cake! He came in the house and smelled it right away. Cut himself a slice and walked around out back while he ate it. Said it was the best chocolate cake he has tasted in a long time. He didn't put anything on top. I made some fresh whipped cream in case he wanted that with chocolate slivers but he ate it "nekked". LOL After supper he had another slice and asked that I put some in his lunch tomorrow. So I guess he loves it! Thanks so much for posting this recipe!

I shouldn't read this at night, now I want some chocolate cake!!

Glenda, could you use fat free sour cream, or would that ruin the cake?

It's even better today!

I used regular sour cream because it had no butter...a little fat..."more better". LOL

Glenda, this is a wonderful recipe. Four year old granddaughter and I cook together several times each week, and she loved the cake. We compile her favorite recipes and this one goes to the top of the list. Thank you for always sharing your recipes. Several in her book came from you.
