The other day my 7 year old daughter wanted to make a cake. I was in the middle of doing something else. I had planned to help her, but ended up having to take on another task. So…my 7 year old daughter with the “help” of my 5 year old son, made this cake mostly all by themselves.
The recipe was so easy and so good I thought I would share it today.
We got the recipe from this book, The Joy of Hospitality Cookbook compiled and edited by Barbara Ball and Vonette Bright. The recipe can be found on page 353.
Sour Cream Cake
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 Tablespoons cocoa (We used Homemade Gourmet Chocolate Mocha Mix 3 tablespoons.
)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla (Be sure to use Eleisia’s Watkins Vanilla
)
1 egg
1 cup of sour cream
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix all ingredients at once; bake in a greased 8 inch pan for 40 minutes.
To make this cake is super easy.
I helped pour it into the 8 x 8 dish. My children volunteered to lick the bowl and the scraper.
How thoughtful and kind.
They were so excited to taste their creation and so proud of it as well. ![]()
We enjoyed it. It was moist and tasty. Definitely a good recipe.
Please let me know if you have tried a sour cream cake before or if you have a great cake recipe. I would love to hear about it.
