Clark Gable’s Sour Cream Chocolate Cake

I knew I had made one of these before, because of the post-it notes on my recipe book.  But there was no blog entry for it.  Mysterious…

Mr Gable might have enjoyed this…

To add insult to injury, as the cake had such a big dip in the middle, this happened…

As this cake was such a failure for me, I’m not going to post the recipe here as I wouldn’t want the same thing to happen to you…  If you are a big Clark Gable fan though and want to have a go, just email me via the Contact page and I’ll send it on over.
