Ingredients

1 1/4 cup + 3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp cocoa powder
½ tsp baking powder
¾ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup sour cream
½ tbsp white vinegar
1 tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1 large egg
2 tsp red gel food coloring
3/4 cup cream Cheese frosting
Sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and grease with vegetable oil.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a cup, mix together the buttermilk, vinegar, and vanilla extract until combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl (either use a stand mixer or hand mixer), beat together the sugar and butter and pale and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add in the egg, sour cream, and the red food color and beat again until well incorporated.
Gradually, add the dry ingredients and alternate with the buttermilk.
Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes or until edges are set and a toothpick pricked in comes our clean. Remove cake from the oven and allow to cool completely before frosting.
Once cool, use a spatula to smooth out the cream cheese frosting over the snack cake. If desired, sprinkle your favorite sprinkles overtop.

Step 4 says stir in sour cream but it is not listed in ingredients. How much do you use, thank you.
