TEXAS SHEET CAKE & ICING

[HEIDI]

TEXAS SHEET CAKE

2 c. flour
2 c. sugar

2 cubes butter
1 c. water
1/4 c. cocoa

1/2 c. sour cream
2 eggs
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. vanilla and mix together.

Pour in cookie sheet with sides (jelly roll pan). Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
HINTS: Any kind of cocoa or chocolate drink mix will work for the cocoa, depending how light or dark you want it. I've found my favorite to be Hershey's European process chocolate. Yogurt, or, I think, buttermilk, can be substituted for the sour cream. If you don't want the icing, you can just sprinkle with powdered sugar.

Quick, easy, delicious, great for a crowd.


ICING FOR TEXAS SHEET CAKE:

1/4 c. cocoa (more or less to taste)
1/2 c. milk (start with slightly less)
1 cube butter

Cook these three ingredients together until bubbly. Add:

4 c. powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp. vanilla
Nuts may be added, makes it very fudgy and yummy

Pour frosting on hot cake when it comes from oven. Frosting may run over sides.
