Equipment 10x15-inch baking pan

Steps

  1. 1

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan combine the 1 cup of butter (cubed) and water. Bring just to a simmer. Stir into flour mixture.

  4. 4

    In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, sour cream, and almond extract. Stir into flour mixture until mixed well.

  5. 5

    Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, make icing.

Notes

Be sure to measure the flour correctly for best results. Fluff it up some in the container to make sure it isn't packed down. With a large spoon, gently scoop it into a dry measuring cup. Overfill it slightly and then run the back of a knife across the top to get rid of the excess.
