Description

Tasty baked goods for the whole family. The “wet” chocolate cake is made very simply, yet the result will exceed all your expectations. A moderately moist crumb pairs well with a sour‑cream cream. Add sugar to the batter and powdered sugar to the sour cream to taste. I’m not a fan of cloyingly sweet cakes, so I indicated the amounts as I see fit. If you can’t get full‑fat sour cream, buy one with 15‑20% fat and place it in a sieve lined with cheesecloth. Put the sieve in a bowl. Chill everything for 7‑8 hours or overnight. In the morning you’ll have a luxurious, thick sour cream. To obtain 450‑500 ml of thick sour cream you’ll need 700 ml of store‑bought sour cream with 15‑20% fat. It can be served with tea or coffee.

    Bake the cake in the oven at 170‑175 °C for 35‑40 minutes. Preheat the oven in advance. Baking time depends on your oven. Check doneness with a dry wooden skewer. You can also bake the cake in a multicooker using the “Bake” setting. I did exactly that.

    "Moist" chocolate cake can be eaten right away, without waiting for it to soak in. But after a few hours it will become even tastier.
