Recipe Introduction


Not too long ago Kenna remembered this delicious cake from our days in Waltonville, Illinois. Family friend Carolyn Brown used to make it frequently, knowing just how much everybody loved it... Oh how many times I've thought of Bud and Carolyn over the years since.

List of Ingredients




1 cup butter
1 cup water
4 tablespoons cocoa
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream

Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
4 tablespoons milk
1 cup chopped nuts
1 pound powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 tablespoons cocoa


Recipe



Cake: Bring butter, water and cocoa to a boil. Pour into mixture of flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Add eggs and sour cream. Mix. Pour into greased and floured 18x21" pan or large cookie sheet. Bake 22 minutes at 350 degrees.

Frosting: About 5 minutes before cake is done, bring butter, cocoa and milk to a boil. Stir constantly. Pour into sifted powdered sugar. Add vanilla. Beat until well mixed. Add nuts. Pour hot frosting onto the hot cake. Spread around. Let cool.

Enjoy! The yield on this cake is never enough. And, I must add that it is a no-fail cake that can be made in a hurry.
