- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1½ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)

For the Frosting
- ¾ cup unsalted butter softened (1½ sticks)
- ⅓ cup water or milk
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- ¾ cup Chopped Pecans optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder until smooth. Then, add in the water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat.
