Here is another recipe from my childhood I fondly remember my mother making often. Yep, I was a really lucky kid!
I always like a recipe (especially a dessert) that I usually already have all the ingredients for, and this is one of those.
Ingredients
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
2 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 cup water
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
- Icing
1/2 cup butter
4 Tbsp 4 Tbl cocoa powder
6 Tbsp milk
16 oz powdered sugar
- Garnish
1/2 cup pecans, for garnish
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F
- Grease an 18×13 sheet pan
- In a large bowl stir together sugar, flour, salt, and baking soda
- In a pot bring butter, cocoa, and water to a boil
- Combine with flour mixture
- Stir in eggs and sour cream
- Pour onto a sheet pan and bake for 20-25 minutes
- While the cake is baking, in a pot, slowly bring icing ingredients to a boil and then allow to cook slightly
- After the cake is done baking spread icing on the cake while it is warm
- Sprinkle pecans on top
