Grammy's White Sheet Cake from Eat Cake for Dinner


 Grammy's White Sheet Cake
(from:  Eat Cake For Dinner)
I just made this today and I will say, I ate way too much it was that good, but honestly it's the frosting, which is like a glaze that makes the cake--this was easy and well worth making!- this came from pinterest, another winner in my book!
Cake:
1 c. butter (2 cubes)
1 c. water
2 c. granulated sugar
2 1/4c. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. sour cream

****Frosting: 

 1 c. butter
 6 Tbsp. evaporated milk
 4 1/2-5 c. powdered sugar
 1 tsp. vanilla,
 1/8 tsp. salt

For the Cake:

Preheat oven to 375 F.  Melt butter and water in large saucepan over medium-low heat until butter is melted.  Remove from heat and stir in the sugar, flour, salt and baking soda.  Stir with a wire whisk until smooth.  Add eggs and vanilla.  Stir in the sour cream and mix until blended.

 Pour the batter into a well greased 11 x 17 " pan (not jelly roll, its a cookie sheet). 

 Bake for 20-25 min. or until the cake springs back when lightly touched or a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. 
 Remove cake from oven and allow to cool slightly while you make the frosting.  

  Frosting :  

Put the butter and milk into a medium saucepan.  Heat until the butter is melted and bring to a simmer. 
 Remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla and dash of salt. 
 Whisk until completely smooth and spread over cake.  
Can add Almond extract instead of the Vanilla if desired.   Enjoy!   ps. my daughter just texted me and asked me to save her some extra, she is craving it :)
