Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup water
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons almond extract
- 0.5 cup butter (for frosting)
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon almond extract (for frosting)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan or baking sheet.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine 1 cup of butter and 1 cup of water. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Pour the hot butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined.
Add the sour cream, eggs, and 1.5 teaspoons of almond extract to the batter. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and spread it out with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan while you prepare the frosting.
In a saucepan, melt 0.5 cup of butter over medium heat. Stir in 0.25 cup of milk and heat until the mixture is warm but not boiling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 0.5 teaspoon of almond extract and the powdered sugar. Mix well until the frosting is smooth.
Immediately pour the warm frosting over the slightly cooled cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle the top of the frosted cake with chopped pecans for added texture and flavor.
Allow the frosting to set before cutting the cake into squares. Serve and enjoy!
