I'm not a fan of chocolate cake, but I made this for my friends and they loved it. I guess I'll have to give it another try.

I'm allergic to chocolate, so I made this cake with white chocolate instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. It doesn't call for any baking powder or baking soda, which are essential for a cake to rise.

I was a bit skeptical about the sour cream in the recipe, but it really added to the flavor and texture of the cake.
