Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup salted butter (divided into 2 sticks)
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups brown sugar (divided into 3 and 1/2 cups for icing)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (divided into 1 and 1/2 teaspoons for icing)
  • 2 cups flour (spooned and leveled)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (divided into 1/4 teaspoon for icing)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup evaporated milk or heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a half sheet pan (18×13 inches) with parchment paper or coat it with nonstick spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of salted butter and 1 cup of water over medium-high heat. Stir in 2 cups of brown sugar and bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Once cooled slightly, stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 2 cups of flour with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/2 cup of sour cream. Add this to the melted butter mixture, stirring to combine.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 17-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. For the icing, melt 3/4 cup of salted butter, 3 and 1/2 cups of brown sugar, 1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup of evaporated milk, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt over medium heat, stirring continuously until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract.
  9. Cool the icing in an ice bath while stirring. Once the cake has cooled, pour the icing over it and let set before slicing.
