Your daughter did a terrific job. <br /><br />I'll second Dave - the sour cream brings moistness, tenderness, and added richness and complexity to a boxed cake mix. It's a stellar idea that many home bakers use. (And LOL on the boy wonder chowing down on your efforts in record time!)<br /><br />Bake with joy,<br />~ Cleo <a href="http://Cleo Coylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15557517506340986862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-72153272273291129602011-07-06T09:15:30.724-04:002011-07-06T09:15:30.724-04:00Dave--Thank you!

Since it is soo thick, making a box mix in a single layer can make for a dense cake. i can see from he photos that the cake has those pretty holes that scream... moist, spongy and double chocolate... whoo whoo<br /><br />So, fudge sauce, whipped cream or ice cream to top???<br /><br />Or all three??????Inspired by eRecipeCardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09104173871760979364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309470395783938361.post-19183151347509230442011-07-06T08:07:52.929-04:002011-07-06T08:07:52.929-04:00Dru--I *think* it's a substitute for using oil...Dru--I *think* it's a substitute for using oil (in which case you could also substitute plain yogurt or maybe even applesauce.)
