1 1/2 cups butter (softened) 3 cups sugar 5 eggs 3 cups flour 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 8 oz sour cream 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup boiling water

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Get somebody to grease and flour a 10 inch tube pan for you bc that is an absolute bitch to do. PRO TIP: This is a runny batter. If you're using a pan with a removable bottom like me, I like to wrap foil around the underside like a diaper and put the whole thing on a cookie sheet, because it has seeped out before.

Mix butter & sugar. Add eggs one at a time.

Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, & salt in their own bowl. Add to wet slop alternately with the sour cream.

Add vanilla & boiling water. Try not to slop boiling water all over the counter.

Bake for 1 hour 20 minutes. This is a recipe where I've found it always takes the full amount of time, but I still always check it early a couple times just in case.

my mom is in fact aware that dandelions exist. she temporarily forgot the name and there was some miscommunication.

the truth is actually weirder

she’s aware dandelions look like this

she is familiar with this flower. she knows the name of this flower. she declines to believe, however, that these are also dandelions

she does not believe these are the same plant. I tried to explain, and she thought I was either misinformed or lying. so I asked her what exactly did she think the yellow ones were called?

gosh I enjoy this website
