This recipe won several blue ribbons at our state fair. The made-from-scratch chocolate layer cake topped with a fudgy homemade frosting is truly a can't-miss dessert.—Donna Carman, Tulsa, Oklahoma

Stars did nidentical to a recipe I already make but with a little more butter, and no sour cream, but for 1mhoward try yogurt, there is milk in the icing so I do not believe it is a dietary issue, maybe just personal preference, tho with this little sour cream in the recipe would be almost impossible to taste, and the yogurt may have a similar effect at worst try a like amount of cream, real or vegan. Report back to let us know. I'm only offering suggestions. Oh, one last thing possibly buttermilk would work well and cut calories a bit

This cake is so much better than a box cake. The ease of the ingrediants and directions. With Peanut Butter Frosting Its my husband favorite cake.

My boyfriend asked me to make a chocolate cake for him yesterday. I am not particularly fond of chocolate, but this cake could change my mind! I love the texture of this cake! It's not too sweet either. The frosting is very sweet and balances the finished product. I will say that I had difficulty getting the frosting to become "light and fluffy", but it could be that my tiny kitchen was VERY hot when I made the frosting. I had to set my mixer on high and beat it for a couple of minutes, but once I did that and put it in the fridge, it was perfect! This is a keeper!
