Wow, I made this yesterday and it was all that I had hoped for and more. I even had to drag the kids out to the grocery store in the 90 degree heat just to buy cocoa, but it was all worth it. This is one of the pastors' wives' recipe and it really resembles the "TX sheetcake". Oh, and it doesn't go easy on the arteries, so proceed with caution.
Sour Cream Fudge Cake
Valori Maresco
1 c. butter
5 T. cocoa
1 c. water
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 c. sour cream
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 c. butter
5 T. cocoa
1/3 c. milk
3 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Bring the butter, cocoa and water to boil in a large pan. Remove from heat and add the
flour, sugar and salt. Mix together the eggs, sour cream and baking soda; add to the mixture.
Pour into a greased (13x9-inch) cake pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes in a 350 degree
oven. While the cake is baking, make the frosting by bringing the butter, cocoa and milk to a
boil. Beat in the powdered sugar and the vanilla. Spread on the hot cake when it comes out
of the oven.
