This is a strawberry sourdough cake with chocolate whipped frosting. Thought you all might appreciate it.

    How does the sourdough work, I’ve never heard of a sourdough cake before - is it yeast-risen instead of using leaveners like baking powder, does it have a sour taste, how old is the sourdough?

    Looks delicious, though, well done!

      It does have baking powder and baking soda in it. The cake does in not taste sour, there is a subtle tang to it but that is mostly masked by the strawberrry purée. I made this with sourdough discard about 24 hours after feeding, I usually feed mine once a day unless its in the refrigerator.
