Any Chocolate lovers out there?
This is a recipe that I made often when my children were young. I just found it on the internet quite by accident, and think I’ll make it again – although I’ll wait till I can take it somewhere as my contribution to a dinner or party. It would be too dangerous to have much of that at home.
TEXAS SHEET CAKE
2 sticks butter
1 c. water
4 tbsp. cocoa
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/2 c. sour cream
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
In a saucepan bring to boil first 3 ingredients and remove from heat. Then add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into a large, greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes. Frost with Texas Sheet Cake Frosting while still warm.
FROSTING:
1 stick butter
6 tbsp. milk
4 tbsp. cocoa
1 lb. confectioners sugar
1 c. chopped nuts
1 tsp. vanilla
Bring to a boil first 3 ingredients; remove from heat and add last 3 ingredients. Spread on cake while still warm.
It’s very good.
And sometimes it’s nice to make a recipe from the past.
