Felt like having chocolate and coffee cake. Got sour cream that is going to expire. Best use it. What to add sour cream to it? I only know to add into cake. Let see what it will taste like.

I am glad that it turned out well. However, it’s so dark looks like it’s burnt but it’s not because I use strong black coffee and a lot of cocoa powder. Perhaps too much sugar as chocolate and cocoa powder are bitter so I added a bit more sugar.

After the cake came out of the from oven my friend called saying I am coming over for tea. Make sure you have cake for me. I said I kind of having the feeling you are coming over and I know you love strong coffee. I have just finished baking burnt chocolate and coffee cake. We ate and its delicious and really enjoyed our tea break together. Let’s bake!!!!!
