Cocholate Cake for my Big Boy's Birthday!

My little / big boy has turned 8 today! I am so very excited for him, because he looks so happy and overjoyed! While Andre was enjoying his new toys and games, I was enjoying making him a cake.... he wanted a Chocolate Cake!

 This cake called "Devil's Food Cake" , by James Peterson.

Needed:

Butter and flour for the cake pans.
1 cup cake flour
1 1/2 tspn. baking soda
1 tspn. baking powder
1/4 tspn. salt
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1 cup sour cream
3/4 cup sugar (I have used brown)
3 eggs
Preheat the oven to 350F.
In bowl mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Combine butter, sour cream, chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Stir until smooth, once the chocolate has melted, remove from the heat.
In large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth. Stir in the chocolate mixture and the flour mix over. Mix!
Pour the mixture into the pan. Bake for about 25-35 min. until the toothpick comes out clean from the centre of the cake.
And here is the left over for tomorrow, and a closer look at the texture of this pretty good cake!
