Sourdough Chocolate Cake is so moist and delicious! And these days everyone is making sourdough, so if you are not, I am sure someone you know is. Just ask around. If not send me an email at devanylynne@gmail.com and I will send you a recipe on how to make your own starter!

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
1 Cup sourdough starter
1 cup whole milk
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
3/4 cup natural cocoa powder (not dutched)
2 tsp espresso powder
2 large eggs

Method:

In a large bowl, combine the starter, milk and flour.Cover and let rest for 2-3 hours, it might bubble and expand a little.

heat oven to 350 and lightly grease a 9 x 13" pan or two 9" pans. If doing two 9" pans, dust with flour and place parchment circles in the bottom.

In a stand mixer, beat together the sugar, oil, vanilla, salt, baking soda, cocoa powder, and espresso powder. The mixture might be grainy.

Slowly add the starter mixture to the chocolate mixture, stirring till smooth. It will take a while to smooth out.

Once smooth, pout it into the cake pan/pans.

Bake the cake for 30-40 minutes, until it springs back when touched and until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a rack.

Frosting:

Ingredients:
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate melted and cooled
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 stick butter, room temp
pinch of fine sea salt
1 TBS cream
1/2 tsp vanilla exctract

Method:
Place all ingredients in a food processor and process till smooth and fluffy. If you do not have a processor, use a hand mixer. Spread on your cake.
Enjoy!
