Sour cream might not be the most common cake ingredient but it is a great addition to some types of batter or dough. It works similarly to the yogurt in the Moist Marble Cake or the buttermilk in the Lemon Chocolate Cake: makes the texture of the cakes softer.
But it also contains more fat which will bring extra moisture and fluffiness to your baked dessert.
I've baked cakes for over 25 years and I can say with certainty that yogurt and sour cream are among my favorite ingredients for cake batter!

Какви продукти ви трябват
Имате нужда от предимно основни продукти за тази рецепта:
- яйца
- заквасена сметана: придава допълнителна влага и мека текстура на тестото
- зехтин: олио също ще ви свърши работа, но аз предпочитам зехтин екстра върджин, защото е по-здравословен.
- захар: бяла или кафява, без значение
- all-purpose flour or cake flour, which helps for a lighter texture
- бакпулвер
- ванилова есенция
- шоколадов чипс или нарязан шоколад: предпочитам второто заради допълнителния вкус, който малките шоколадови парченца придават на тестото.

Накратко за приготвянето
- Start by whisking together the eggs with the sugar. You may use a mixer for extra volume but if you don't have one, a whisk is just fine.
- Едина по една добавете останалите мокри съставки: заквасена сметана, зехтин (олио) и ванилия. Разбъркайте с телта или разбийте с миксера след всяко добавяне до гладкост.
- Постепенно изсипете брашното, разбъркано предварително много добре с бакпулвера. Уверете се, че в тестото не са останали бучки.
- Накрая добавете и парчетата шоколад.
- Изсипете тестото в намазнена и набрашнена форма за кекс.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350° F/ 180° C. Let cool until room temperature before serving.


Съвети за успех
This recipe is one of the easiest possible, however like with any other bundt cake, you need to follow a few simple tips for success:
- Make sure you mix very well your flour and your baking powder. Ideally sift them together before starting to make the cake.
- Add the flour mixture to the batter very carefully so that no lumps remain. Use a rubber spatula to fold the flour into the wet ingredients. It is important to make sure that the baking powder is evenly distributed throughout the batter so the cake will raise evenly.
- Не прекалявайте с разбъркването, след като брашното е добавено!
- Grease and flour very well your cake pan. To do that I normally pour 2 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon flour inside the pan. Then with a kitchen brush I make sure every nook and cranny of the inside of the pan is greased.
- Remove the cake from the pan only after it reaches room temperature. If you try to remove it when it is still hot, you may end up with a broken bundt cake.

Вариации
Ако имате нужда от заместител на заквасената сметана в рецептата, можете да използвате цедено кисело мляко, което ще ви даде подобен резултат.
Захарта може да бъде заменена с всякакъв вид гранулиран подсладител: кокосова захар, тъмнокафява захар или еритритол. Имайте предвид, че цветът и вкусът на печивото могат да се променят.
Можете също така да замените половината от бялото брашно с пълнозърнесто.
И накрая, можете да изберете всякакъв вид шоколад: тъмен, бял или млечен ще се съчетаят добре и ще придадат различна текстура и допълнителен вкус на този прекрасен кекс.

Как да сервираме
This cake is excellent on its own. But if you want to serve it for special guests or just feel extra decadent, you can garnish the slices with some fresh blueberries or raspberries and a dollop of sour cream or greek yogurt!
Съвети за съхранение
Keep the Sour Cream Cake covered or sliced in airtight containers for 2-3 days at room temperature.
You can also store it in the fridge for up to 4 days. In this case it might be nice warming up the leftovers slightly before serving them.
Този кекс може да бъде замразен до 2 месеца в затворени контейнери.
