This classic cake recipe is made entirely from scratch, and everyone loves it!

1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 18×13-inch rimmed sheet pan with softened butter. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

2

In a saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa powder, and water. Heat over medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth. Bring to a boil, whisk then remove from heat.

3

Pour the hot butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well using an electric hand mixer.

4

Add the eggs and sour cream to the mixture, and mix on low speed using an electric mixer until combined. The batter will be thin and easy to pour.

5

Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Make sure that it’s spread evenly and reached all corners.

6

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

7

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting: In a saucepan, combine the butter, cocoa powder, and milk over medium heat until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth.

8

Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla, and gradually stir in the sifted powdered sugar, use a whisk or beat with an electric hand mixer if necessary to ensure smoothness.

9

Fold in the chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula, then quickly spread the warm frosting over the warm cake using an offset spatula.

10

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. The frosting will harden slightly. Cut the cake into squares and serve.
