I officially promise to refrain from posting another chocolate cake for at least the next few months, okay? They are hard to resist though! When a reader emails you (Thanks, Julie!) with her grandmother’s Best Ever Sour Cream Cake recipe, it’s hard not to hit the kitchen immediately.
This cake is every bit as good as promised! Rich chocolate cake, extra moist from the scoop of sour cream, is then topped with a rich and creamy chocolate icing glaze. Despite the length of the ingredient list, this is a simple recipe. If you’re a fan of the classic Texas Sheet Cake, you’ll want to try this version; it is slightly more moist with an icing closer to a pudding than a frosting. This cake was an enormous hit with everyone who tasted it. Check out all of the Gluten Free Dessert Recipes on this website! {Recipe originally published 12/20/13 – recipe card updated 7/11/22}
