Zella's Chocolate Cake

I'm a big chocolate fan. 

And this, my friends, is the most delicious, moist, and fudgy chocolate cake out there. 

I know, I've tried them all. 

A special thank you to Zella Nelson for making this cake on a weekly basis while I was growing up.

Because everyone knows, a teenage girl needs a regular helping of chocolate to survive.

Zella's Chocolate Cake

Prep: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and butter/flour a sheet pan

Step One: Mix Together

2 cups sugar

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp Salt

1 tsp Baking Soda

Set Aside.

Step Two: Melt on Stove

1 cup butter

1 cup water

4 T Cocoa

2 tsp Vanilla 

Simmer and combine dry ingredients with those in sauce pan.

Step Three: Turn off stove and add to mixture

3/4 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt

2 beaten eggs

Stir until smooth! 

Pour into prepared sheet pan and bake for 20-30 minutes.

It's quick.

(you can also use a bundt or 13x9 with a longer bake time but the sheet is my fav)

Frosting: Do on Stove

1/2 cup butter

4 T Cocoa 

2 tsp Vanilla

approx 4 cups of Powdered Sugar.

Evaporated Milk to desired consistency

Oh boy.

Melt until smooth and fudgy.

Pour over cake.

It's that easy.

I usually let mine chill for a while before serving, 

but some like it hot if you know what I'm sayin.

Sometimes I shave some White Chocolate on top for some extra razzle dazzle.

ENJOY!
