Note

For deeper chocolate flavor, replace the hot water or coffee in the recipe with hot brewed coffee.

Ensure butter and sour cream are at room temperature for the best texture and mixing results.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

This batter is quite thick; do not overmix once the dry ingredients are added to avoid a tough crumb.
