• 2 cups sugar
• 2 1/4 cups flour

• 1 cup butter
• 6 T evaporated milk

• 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter and water in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, flour, salt and baking soda. Stir with a wire whisk until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. Stir in the sour cream and mix until blended. Pour the batter into a well greased 11x17 sheet pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched or a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and allow to cool slightly while you make the frosting. Put the butter and milk into a medium saucepan. Heat until butter is melted and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla, and a dash of salt. Whisk until completely smooth. Add nuts (if desired) and spread over cake.
