Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). In a large bowl stir together eggs, sugar and cocoa powder. Whisk in flour. In another bowl mix sour cream and baking soda, until you see little bubbles forming on the surface of sour cream. Beat in the flour and egg mixture. Stir until smooth. Pour batter evenly into buttered and floured cake pans. Bake for about 17 minutes, until a wooden stick inserted in the center of the cake comes out only with several crumbs on it.
