I wonder if I can substitute 1 cup of sourcream for 1 cup of milk. Hubby is at work... son took my car and I am out of milk and am in the mood to cook/bake. Does anyone know?

I would go for it, changes it some, but then cake is cake

Future note, keep either some of those non Frig required cartons of milk, and/or powdered milk

It calls for 1 cup of boliling water as well. I used the sour cream but only 3/4 cup... it's in the oven... time will tell. The batter was yummy if that gives any indication of how it will turn out.

Just went out for the ice cream to go with mine with some mint coffee to complete.

Well... mine seems to be a bit heavy... I am baking it a little longer... but things are not looking good. Maybe I should stick with the boxed kind. Enjoy yours:)

Well I guess it is as done as it is going to be, gooey is the term I will use and not much cocoa taste.:( The bottom is nice and crunchy...
