The dark chocolate cake just came out of the oven and I agree with Jeff, if you're going to add sour cream - make it just a half cup per batch. Mine took a long time to bake and was lumpy on top not evenly round as usual.

: I use Betty Crocker Super Moist mixes, and found that 1 full cup of sour cream made the cake a little too dense to my liking, so I cut it to 1/2 cup. Follow the package directions (any flavor)as stated but replace 1/2 cup of the total amount of water with 1/2 cup sour cream. (Ex: If the mix calls for 1 1/4 cups water, use 1/2 cup sour cream and 3/4 cup water). I also add vanilla to the batter to enhance the flavor, and I beat the mix (KitchenAid using the paddle)3 minutes instead of two. The batter is thick and makes a great tasting fine textured cake. It is nice to use for all cakes including weddings/stacked cakes.
