This recipe came from "Family Fun" magazine. It has sour cream in it, one of my very favorite ingredients for baked goods. LOVE IT!!! (But don't ask me to eat it on my taco salad. YUK!!) I added milk chocolate chips to this recipe, because you can never have too much chocolate.
2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Sift dry ingredients together in a medium-sized mixing bowl. (I use a whisk for this entire recipe.) Set aside.
1 c. butter
1 c. water
1/4 c. baking cocoa
1/2 c. sour cream
2 eggs
1 c. chocolate chips (any variety--butterscotch or peanut butter would be good also!)
In a saucepan, over medium heat, combine butter, water, and cocoa; bring to a low boil. Add to flour mixture in bowl and mix thoroughly. Let cool a few minutes, then stir in sour cream and eggs. After mixture has cooled completely, stir in chips.
Pour into greased 9" x 13" x 2" cake pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35-38 minutes. Let cool 5-10 minutes while you make the frosting:
Frosting:
1/4 c. butter
3 Tbsp. milk
2 Tbsp. baking cocoa
2 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
In saucepan, combine butter, milk, and cocoa; bring to a low boil. Remove from heat, stir in sugar (one cup at a time) and vanilla with whisk. Pour over warm cake.
