OOOOOH Yummy! And fast too! This cake is probably what made my husband fall in love with me. If the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. I think it is also why I gained at least 20 lbs in the first year of our marriage. Texas cake is a chocolate lovers dream. Fudgy frosting, soft cake--the ultimate in comfort food. Perhaps that is why I have not made it that often since I have been eating healthier. Everything in moderation though so don't make this weekly like I did when I first was married. But have it every once in a while and enjoy the decadent chocolate goodness!
Texas Cake
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1 cup butter
4 Tbsp cocoa (I use heaping Tablespoons)
1 cup water
2 slightly beaten eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp soda
In a microwaveable bowl combine butter, cocoa, and water. Heat in microwave until butter is mostly melted. Stir and then bring to a boil. (Be careful not to burn it!) Mix with beaters and slowly add sugar and flour. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into a well greased 11x17 inch cookie sheet with sides. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Frost while still warm.

1/2 tsp vanilla
