  3. 3
    mix .
  4. 4
    This sourdough chocolate cake falls in that category.
  5. 5
    It's got a fudge-like quality you can't get any way except with sourdough and since it's all mixed in one bowl, it's almost as easy as a boxed cake.
  6. 6

  7. 7
    cover loosely and
  8. 8
    allow to stand at room temperature until active and bubbling -- at least one hour.

  17. 17
    Allow to
  18. 18
    cool about 10 minutes before removing from pans, then finish cooling the layers on wire racks.
  19. 19
    Do not frost until the cake is completely cold.
