- 2 cups flour
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 sticks butter
- 1 cup water
- 3 T cocoa
- 1/2 cup sour milk
- 1 t baking soda
- 2 eggs
- 1 t vanilla
Preheat oven 375. Grease a large jelly roll style pan.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter, then add the water and cocoa. Bring to a boil. In a separate mixing bowl, mix the flour and sugar. Pour the liquid over and beat vigorously. Add remaining ingredients. Stir until well blended. Pour into pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Fudgy frosting:
6 T shortening, 1 T vanilla, and 6 T cocoa powder—beat together
slowly beat in powdered sugar—2 cups for fluffy spreadable kind, add more if you want it stiffer and a few Tablespoons of milk. Do just enough so that it beats well–too much and it will be thinner.
