My dad LOVED this cake! And so does everyone else. Like a rich moist chocolate cake topped with fudge. What's not to like. Easy to make, easy to clean up since its one pot.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter
1 cup water
4 tablespoons cocoa, heaping
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon baking soda, dissolved in sour cream
2 eggs
1/2 cup butter
4 tablespoons cocoa, level
6 tablespoons skim milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound box powdered sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. Put butter, water and cocoa into pot; bring to full boil. Remove and add flour, sugar and salt; beat until smooth and add sour cream with soda in it and eggs. Mix well and pour into greased 17x9x1 cookie sheet with rim. Bake for 22 minutes at 375.
2. In same pot the cake was made in (don't clean pot!) add 1/2 cup butter, 4 level T. cocoa and milk and bring to a full boil. Remove and add rest of ingredients. Beat well then spread over cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Refrigerate cake, cut into squares and serve. Best when cold.
