Instructions

Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together sugar, sour cream, and eggs.
  3. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  4. To a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Turn off heat and whisk in the water and cocoa until smooth.
  5. Add the cocoa and butter mixture to the mixing bowl with the flour. Mix well to combine.
  6. Pour the batter into a greased half-sheet sized pan with sides.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool slightly before icing. It can still be warm.

Icing

  1. Heat a small saucepan over low heat.
  2. Add the butter and let it melt completely.
  3. Add the buttermilk and cocoa. Whisk to combine.
  4. Remove it from the heat and add it to a mixing bowl with powdered sugar and vanilla.
  5. Spread it on the cake while the icing is still warm.
  6. Let the cake cool completely before serving. The icing will firm up once it cools.

Notes

  • When making the icing, it's important to keep it over low heat. If you get it too hot, it will begin to separate.
  • You do not have to wait for the cake to completely cool to add the icing.
