  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, divided
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • What To Do:
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
       
    2. In a small saucepan, combine 2 sticks butter, water, and 1/4 cup cocoa powder; cook over low heat until butter is melted, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and pour into a large heat-resistant bowl to cool. Add flour, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, baking soda and salt; beat until well combined then pour into a 10- x 15-inch rimmed baking sheet.
       
    3. Bake 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean; set aside to cool.
       
    4. In a small saucepan, make frosting by melting the 1/4 cup butter with milk and the remaining cocoa powder over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in confectioners’ sugar and vanilla; mix well then frost cooled cake.
    *I make this in a cookie sheet and I do not double the cake, just the frosting*
