Texas Sheet Cake

I made this 2 years ago for a ward family outing. The recipe is from a lady in my old ward.


Texas Sheet Cake
1 cup butter
1 cup water
1 cup cocoa powder

2 cup sugar
2 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla

Combine butter, water, & cocoa in saucepan over medium heat.
Heat till butter melts, stirring often. Transfer to mixing bowl. Add rest of cake ingredients.

Pour into a 15 x 10 x 1 inch jelly roll pan.
Bake at 350 d. for 20 minutes.

FROSTING
Chopped Pecans (if desired, I prefer it with.)
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup + 2 T half & half...(I just used regular milk)
4 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar (it's actually 1 pound)
1/2 tsp Vanilla

Combine butter, cocoa, & Half + Half in saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Transfer to mixing bowl.
Add powdered sugar & Vanilla.
Spread over HOT cake and add nuts if desired!!

Cool, cut into bars, enjoy and don't get on the scale!!
