Best Chocolate Cake!

I don't normally bake, because I'm usually pretty bad at it. But I felt like making a chocolate cake for dessert the other night, and I found this recipe in one of my Epicure cookbooks.

Here's my adapted version:

BLACK MAGIC CHOCOLATE CAKE

7/8 c. flour (I halved the recipe, so that's why it's a weird amount - it originally called for 1 3/4 c.)

1 c. sugar

6 tbsp. cocoa

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 egg

1/4 c. vegetable oil

1/2 c. strong coffee, cold

1/2 c. sour cream (the original recipe called for buttermilk, but I thought this would make it moister)

1/2 tsp. vanilla

Sift together dry ingredients. Combine wet ingredients and add to flour mixture. Beat for 2 minutes, then pour into an 9" round pan (greased and floured). Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes. After it has cooled, ice with homemade icing (mix together approx. 1/3 c. butter, 3/4 c. icing sugar, 2 tbsp. cocoa, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1-2 tbsp. milk)

This cake was so moist and decadent and just plain awesome. I'd invite you over to have some, but I ate it all yesterday.
