missing. It says to add sour cream but not how much.

This chocolate sheet cake is made with coffee and sour cream. Included is a recipe for frosting which should be spread on the cake while it is still very warm. It is VERY rich. My daughter encouraged me to submit the recipe on-line. Hope you like it as much as we do."

Ingredients

1 cup hot brewed coffee

1 cup butter

5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 cups white sugar

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

3 eggs

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 12x18 inch sheet pan. In a saucepan, combine coffee, 1 cup butter and 5 tablespoons cocoa. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, white sugar, baking soda and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in eggs, sour cream and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix well, then beat in cocoa mixture. Spread into prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Frost while still warm.

 
Similar recipes that I found used

1/2 cup of sour cream, but only 2 eggs. All the rest of the ingredients were the same.

I modified the frosting part because DW doesn't care for all the dark chocolate recipes

I usually make. I don't know why the sour cream didn't appear when I did the copy and paste. Thank goodness it looks good. Will see tomorrow at the car club evening dinner (pot luck). I am thinking the next time I will do Herme's caramel frosting.
