Not to add yet another pan option, but this baked up perfectly in a 10-cup Bundt! Skipped the frosting but no less snack-worthy …

I’ve made one batch with all sour cream, and a second batch (two days later by popular demand) with half sour cream and half whole milk yogurt because I ran out of sour cream, and it worked beautifully both ways. Stellar recipe and I’m going to try cupcakes next time.

Can’t wait to make this – I’ve been craving a little snack cake. I’d also like to try a gluten-free version. Has anyone tried this using gluten free flour? Specifically King Arthur or Bob’s Red Mill, which are available near me. Thank you!

Can this recipe be cut in half if I only want to make one 8×8 cake?

So I’m a bit behind on this, but I’ve been making your previous snack cake recipe for years! The first time I made it it was perfection, and every time since it has sunk in the middle but I loved it too much to find a new recipe. I decided today I’d look to see if other people had the same sinking problem and I found out even you did! Whew that makes me feel better. But I can’t even tell you how thrilled I am to try this one out because I TRUST YOU! Ha. Thanks for the recipes!

Hi Sarah
Can unsweetened cocoa be used as a substitute for the Dutch processed cocoa?
Thanks

In reply to Julie.

Hi Julie – I haven’t tried this recipe as cupcakes, but I’m 99% sure it would work. I would suggest only filling the cupcake liners 1/2 full, as the batter rises quite a bit while baking. Let me know if you try it!
