Just wanted you to know -- The neighborhood where I live (Durham, NC) is very actively engaged in Neighborhood Watch. To mark National Night Out, the neighborhood had a bake-off. I made several things, one being this Sourdough Chocolate Cake. It won second prize!!! And no leftovers came back! My only problem with it was getting it out of the baking pan and into the foil lined box to take to the event. Altlhough I'd made it two days previously, the frosting was still very soft and sometimes tended to slide off the cake and the cake crumbled at the slightest touch. By the time I had the box filled, counter and floor were covered with crumbs and I had cleaned the floor twice already. (There are times I miss the dogs.) Now I"ve got to watch for a super recipe for next year.
