List of Ingredients




CAKE

1 cup butter
1 cup water
4 T cocoa
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 large eggs
½ cup sour cream

ICING

½ cup butter
6 T milk
4 T cocoa

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°.
For cake, combine butter, water and cocoa in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Remove from heat. In a mixing bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Add butter mixture all at once and stir to blend. Whisk eggs and sour cream together; add to batter and mix well. Pour batter into a 18x12x1 inch pan and bake 20 minutes.
Just before cake is done, make icing. Combine butter, milk, and cocoa in a large, heavy saucepan and bring to a boil. Add confectioners sugar and vanilla and mix well. Ice cake while it's still warm and top with nuts, if desired.
