This is one my three favorite cakes in this book, and I find myself making it when I want to impress people. I cover it with a dark chocolate ganache, and it stands up to that assertive flavor well. I put a vanilla-flavored or lemon-flavored cream cheese-butter-powdered sugar frosting on it, and it holds up to that dense concoction well. I put chocolate whipped cream on top of it, and it has almost too much personality for that, but people always rave.

Now I always use the full amount of sour cream, 1/2 cup, but I have tried it with less, and it's still outstanding even then.
