00:00This is the easiest one-bowl chocolate cake you'll ever make.
00:02I'll be the judge of that.
00:03What's the story with sour cream in this cake?
00:05Because that's not usually something that I put in cakes.
00:07Full-fat sour cream keeps a cake super moist
00:10because of all that fat content.
00:11And it also adds a tang, kind of like buttermilk.
00:14In a pinch, you could use full-fat yogurt.
00:16Next.
00:17You'll stream in that hot coffee.
00:19Any kind of coffee?
00:20Yeah, whatever you like to drink.
00:21The thing about it being hot is it
00:22is going to help bloom the cocoa powder we're going to add.
00:25So it's real liquidy.
00:26Is that cool?
00:27Yes.
00:28We haven't added the dry ingredients.
00:29I've made cakes before where it's like liquidy batter.
00:31And you're like, is this even going to bake?
00:33So now we're going to sift in our dry ingredients.
00:36Usually, if I see sifting, I sometimes skip that step.
00:39With flour, honestly, you don't typically have to.
00:41But cocoa powder is naturally really clumpy.
00:44And that's it.
00:45OK, this is kind of satisfying.
00:46OK, I'm going to be a sifter now.
00:48So now I just stir this with my hand?
00:50Yeah.
00:51One bowl, one whisk.
00:52That's it.
00:53So I just go sit in the corner and eat this batter by myself?
00:55Or you could pour it into the pan.
00:56OK, I guess I could do that.
00:58This has been parchment sprayed, all that jazz?
01:00Yep, it's all ready to go.
01:01So just in the oven?
01:02What are we, 350?
01:04350 for about 30 minutes.
01:06Here's the finished masterpiece.
01:08We're going to let it cool for a few minutes in the pan before we turn it out onto the rack.
01:11OK.
01:12Now it's time for buttercream.
01:13All right, let's do it.
