White Sheet Cake with Chocolate Frosting Recipe
Description
The White Sheet Cake with Chocolate Frosting features a buttery cake made by boiling butter and water and mixing it into flour, sugar, salt, and sour cream, with a hint of almond and vanilla extract for flavor. The method results in a tender, moist cake baked in a large sheet pan, ideal for serving many guests. The chocolate frosting is prepared by boiling butter, cocoa powder, salt, and milk before mixing it with powdered sugar and vanilla, creating a smooth and glossy finish. Once the cake has cooled slightly, the frosting is poured over to set, providing a balance of sweet vanilla cake and rich chocolate topping. This cake is suited for celebrations or casual gatherings where a classic, large-format sheet cake is appreciated.

Frosting
- Bring butter, cocoa, salt, and milk to a boil in a small saucepan. It may appear curdled- that's fine. While mixture is boiling, measure 3½ cups of the powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Pour boiling chocolate mixture over powdered sugar. Beat till smooth and add vanilla. Add more powdered sugar if needed. Pour over cake after it has cooled for about 5 minutes.
