Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup salted butter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sour cream , plain Greek yogurt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
For the Frosting:
- 6 Tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup salted butter
- 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- Berries, for topping, if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a bakers half sheet jelly roll pan (13x18'').
- Mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. In another small bowl mix together the sour cream, eggs and almond extract. Add sour cream/egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
- Add water and butter to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling, remove from heat and add to the batter, mixing to combine.
- Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth with a spatula into an even layer.
- Bake in preheated oven for 17-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. When the cake is about 5 minutes away from being done cooking, prepare the frosting.
For the Frosting:
- Add milk and butter to a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and stir in powdered sugar and almond extract. I like to beat the mixture with my hand-held mixer to get rid of any lumps.
- Pour warm icing over warm cake. Use a spatula to gently spread it evenly over the cake.
- Allow cake to cool completely, then top with fresh berries, if desired.
Notes
- Make Ahead Instructions: This cake tastes great made a day in advance. Cover well and store at room temperature or in the fridge. Add the fresh fruit just before serving.
- Freezing Instructions: Cover the cake well with aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months (without fruit on top). Thaw completely before serving.
