Chocolate Sour Cream Cake by Leite's Culinaria

Last year, we used to have this tradition with my classmates that every Wednesday morning, one of us would have to bring something yummy to eat during the class break. We used to call them "El desayuno de los miércoles" ("Wednesday Breakfast") This year, we had to change it to Thursday afternoon (we will have to refer to it as "Merienda de los jueves" - here in Argentina we use the word "Merienda" to refer to a snack we usually have anytime from 5 pm to 7 pm, and this meal can range from medialunas to alfajores, or if you're feeling healthy, fruit, a piece of toast or yoghurt) and this will be the first "merienda" we have this year.

I found this recipe a few months ago and wanted to try it ever since. Instead of making a Bundt cake, like the recipe said, I made a regular cake and cut it into square pieces so it'd be easier to carry around to class and then to eat. The good thing about this cake is that it's not as fattening, maybe, as other recipes. It probably has its good amount of calories, like any cake, but it uses much less butter and many fewer eggs than other recipes. It also doesn't ask for chocolate, but cacao powder. You can make it even lighter by using less butter (I used 1 and a half sticks -150 g- instead of 2, not to make it more diet friendly, to be honest, but because that's all we had at my house and I felt too lazy to go buy more... maybe this blog should be renamed "Lazy Lu's Kitchen"?) and by replacing the sour cream. Actually, here we don't have sour cream, so instead I used the same amount of Casancrem (I hear you can get that in other Latin American countries too). And it works with Casancrem Light just as well (I had to use that one, again, 'cause it was the one we had here).
