Hi, I tried the version from the KA Anniversary Cookbook, which seems much the same as this one. I mixed everything by hand, and didn't get the sourdough combined with the chocolate mixture as well as it should have been; still tasted great, my wife was thoroughly pleased (her birthday), and this one goes on the list of good KA recipes to repeat. The frosting came up a bit skimpy, so I filled the center with seedless marionberry jam (yummy). Next time, I'll use the stand mixer or the bread dough whisk, either should work OK. You folks are wonderful! Thanks.
