Ingredients

How to make it

  • In large mixing bowl, with an electric mixer, cream softened butter until light and creamy
  • Add sugar gradually and beat for about 5 minutes
  • Add vanilla, mixing well
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition
  • In bowl, or waxed paper funnel, place flour, cocoa, soda, and salt
  • Starting with dry ingredients, add alternately with sour cream, ending with the dry ingredients (I do this in thirds)
  • Place batter into a greased and lightly floured Bundt pan
  • Place in a 300 degree oven, bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes
  • After cake is done, turn oven off, leave in oven with door closed for about 5 minutes
  • Remove cake, place on wire rack to cool for about 10 minutes
  • Remove cake from pan carefully onto cake plate
  • THE ICING DIVINE
  • Combine chocolate chips, heavy cream, the cut butter in saucepan
  • Melt, stirring constantly
  • Remove from heat, pour in bowl, cool to room temperature
  • Add powdered sugar, beat until smooth
  • Add the orange rind last if using
  • THE HEAVENLY WHIPPED CREAM
  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl, beat until stiff peaks are formed
  • Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • MAY SERVE CAKE PLAIN, WITH ICING, WITH WHIPPED CREAM
  • BOTH ICING AND A DOLLOP OF WHIPPED CREAM IS ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY AND OVER THE TOP
