Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup melted butter, cooled
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup sour cream, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray an 8 inch round cake pan with non-stick baking spray. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder. In a larger bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until combined. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk until incorporated. Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until everything is combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.

Frosting

For the frosting, you’ll need 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup cocoa powder, 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar, 1/3 cup milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and cocoa powder until light and fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and mix until combined. Add the milk and vanilla extract and mix until combined. Spread the frosting over the cooled cake and serve.
