To make the cake
Preheat oven to 350º F. Grease and flour a 15x11 in jelly roll pan.
Mix together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Set aside
Bring water and 1/2 cup butter to a boil.
Once boiling, add to the flour mixture, stir until combined.
Add in the eggs, remaining 1/4 cup butter, vanilla, sour milk, and baking soda.
Pour into prepared pan, and bake for 20-25 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
To make the Frosting
With a stand or hand mixer, beat softened butter, sour milk, powdered sugar, cocoa, and vanilla. Start slowly, so the dry ingredients incorporate without covering your kitchen in powdered sugar. As the frosting comes together, you can raise the speed and beat until smooth and glossy.
If you’re adding nuts to the frosting, you can gently fold them into the finished product. Or, sprinkle them on the frosted cake to serve as flavor and decoration. |
