2. Combine the flour, cocoa and baking soda in a small bowl, add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Beat just until combined, do not over mix. Stir in chocolate chips. Pour into a well greased and floured 10" tube pan.
   
   
3. Bake at 325 degrees for 75 to 90 minutes, or until cake tester inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Run a metal spatula or butter knife around sides of pan to loosen cake first.
