Preheat oven to 375\u00ba. Grease and flour two 9&#8243; round cake pans.<\/p>\n<p>2. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.<\/p>\n<p>3. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, water, and vanilla<\/p>\n<p>4. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.<\/p>\n<p>5. Add one third of the flour mixture to the butter and sugar, mix well to combine. Then add half of the sour cream. Repeat with another third of the flour, sour cream, then the rest of the flour, beat until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.<\/p>\n<p>6. Divide batter among the two cake pans, smooth out the tops with a rubber spatula. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, test for doneness with a toothpick. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then turn cakes out of pans to cool completely on rack before frosting.<\/p>\n<p>Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>8 oz. cream cheese, softened<\/li>\n<li>6 tablespoons butter, room temperature<\/li>\n<li>3 cups confectioner&#8217;s sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup cocoa powder<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon vanilla<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>1.
