Ingredients
* CAKE
* 2 sticks (1 cup) butter
* 1 cup water
* 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, divided
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 cups granulated sugar
* 2 eggs
* 1/2 cup sour cream

* FROSTING
* 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
* 3 tablespoons milk
* 1 (16-ounce) box confectioners' sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a small saucepan, combine 2 sticks butter, water, and 1/4 cup
cocoa powder; cook over low heat until butter is melted, stirring
occasionally. Remove from heat and pour into a large heat-resistant
bowl to cool. Add flour, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, baking
soda and salt; beat until well combined then pour into a 10- x
15-inch rimmed baking sheet.

with milk and the remaining cocoa powder over low heat. Remove from
heat and stir in confectioners' sugar and vanilla; mix well then
frost cooled cake.
Note
* If you want to fancy this up a bit, sprinkle the frosting with
crushed chocolate sandwich <#> cookies, broken-up pieces of your
favorite chocolate candy bar, or Texas-sized whole shelled walnuts!
* And if you're feeding a crowd, you may also want to bake up a batch
of our popular Chocolate Chunk Cookies
