This is a rich, decadent fudgey cake with Dutch processed cocoa and sour cream. It made up the base of my dad's Neopolitan Ice Cream birthday cake this year. If you're feeling particularly decadent, I suggest a chocolate-malt or white chocolate-cream cheese crosting with this! Read more ! Makes 1 thick layer.
