How to make it

    This is the best cake EVER!! The sour cream does make for a super moist cake. The cocoa frosting with the nuts sets up to an almost candy-like consistency that is to die for!! A family favorite and one that was requested by coworkers when birthday celebrations were looming. I had lost my copy of it and was delighted to see it here! Thanks for sharing. Think I will make one for the family to enjoy today!! This would be a ten star rating if there was one!!

    I have made this cake before too, but my recipe didn't call for the sour cream...thats probably why its so moist huh?... I have this in the oven as I am writting this, I did however, add a t. of coffee granules to it, to bring out the chocolate flavor. thanks for the recipe~
