Let me start off by saying I don’t like cake! I can’t explain why, but I just am not a fan of cake. For my birthdays I’ve always requested ice cream cakes. My point is, if I say this is the best cake, then it is THE BEST cake! It’s moist and rich and I actually love it! It’s really easy to make too and sure to be a hit with everyone!
You Will Need:
Cake:
-1 cup butter
-1 cup water
-2 cups sugar
-2 1/4 cups flour
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-2 eggs
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-1 teaspoon vanilla
-1/2 cup sour cream
Icing:
-1 cup butter
-6 Tablespoons evaporated milk
-4 1/2 cups powdered sugar
-1 teaspoon vanilla

-Stir in sugar, flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk until smooth
-Add eggs and vanilla
-Whisk in sour cream until well blended
-Pour batter into a well greased 9×13 baking dish
-Bake for 25 minutes. Toothpick should come out of center clean
-While cake is cooling make the icing

I’m so sorry! I’m just now seeing your first comment! It’s 1 teaspoon of baking soda for the cake. I’ll have to fix that!

I just made this and LOVED it. I have a sweet tooth and didn’t come close to using half of the icing this called for. It takes away from the cake if you do. Half is plenty!
