The sour cream in this recipe takes it just a fraction of a notch higher than the Perfect All-American Chocolate Torte, in my opinion. The tang of the sour cream pitches it upward, and it tenderizes it just slightly, making the crumb seem a bit tighter, but still extremely light, compared to the PAAC Torte. This and the Perfect All-American Chocolate Butter Cake from The Cake Bible are my favorite chocolate cakes.

This is a lovely chocolate cake- rich, mellow, and with a finer crumb than the Perfect All-American. The flavor of the chocolate and sour cream remind me of a brownie, though the texture is that of a tender cake.
Although the author prefers serving this cake unadorned, I have found that it also pairs wonderfully with nut flavors. The photo shows this cake baked as cupcakes and topped with hazelnut mousseline (mousseline buttercream with white chocolate and hazelnut paste).
