Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, and eggs. Add in the sour cream and mix until blended.

  2. Heat Mixture: In a saucepan, bring 2 sticks of margarine, 1 cup of water, and 4 tbsp of cocoa powder to a boil, stirring until smooth.

    🔥 Tip: Be attentive while heating to ensure the mixture doesn’t boil over. It will create a deliciously chocolatey base for your cake!

  3. Combine: Gradually pour the hot mixture into the flour mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.

  4. Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter into a generously greased and floured cookie sheet or large baking pan with sides.

  5. Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

For the Frosting:

  1. Make Frosting: In a saucepan, bring 1 stick of margarine, 6 tbsp of milk, and 4 tbsp of cocoa powder to a boil, stirring constantly.

  2. Combine: Once it’s boiling, remove from heat and mix into the confectioners' sugar, adding the vanilla extract and chopped nuts.

  3. Spread: Pour the warm frosting over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in for extra moisture and flavor!

🍰 Storage Tip: This cake freezes beautifully! Just wrap it in plastic wrap and foil before freezing. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving for the best texture.
