Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 10-inch bundt pan.

Sift the cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder into a small bowl and set it aside.

Put the butter and sugar in a bowl. With an electric mixer, beat them till they are light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.

Add the vanilla. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Mix the sour cream and water.

Add the dry ingredients alternately with half of the sour cream mixture in three stages, beginning and ending with the flour mixture and scraping down the sides of the bowl between stages.

Spread the batter into the prepared bundt pan.

Bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the pan. Turn it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This cake keeps very well and freezes very well, too.
