The BEST Chocolate Cake Recipe
Once you make Julie’s Never Fail Chocolate Cake you will NEVER make another chocolate cake again. I’m serious dudes.
It’s that good. And, of course, you can use it for cupcakes too! The unique thing about this batter is that the water has to be boiling, and you also use sour milk!

I am not sure what is meant by sour milk?
You can use milk that has gone sour or you can use buttermilk. The other option would be to use normal milk and add a tablespoon of vinegar. This is a very old recipe, and although I've never had 'sour milk' on hand when I've made it, It was the way my mother-in-law received the recipe!
Can you use butter instead of margarine? Thanks!
Yes, I've made it both ways, and it's always delicious!
