• In a small saucepan, melt the butter, adding the water and bring to a boil.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl...combine the flour, baking soda, sugar, eggs, sour cream and almond extract
• Add the butter and water to the mixing bowl of ingredients and blend until smooth
• Pour into a greased and floured sheet pan 17X11.
• Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
• Check on the done-ness after about 15 minutes...do not over-bake

Frosting

• 5 minutes before the cake is baked....make the frosting by melting the butter and adding the milk
• Then bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.(I use the same saucepan as I did for the cake)
• Remove from heat and add the powdered sugar, beating until thoroughly combined and the spreading consistency desired.
• (I like the frosting to "flow" over the cake, yet remain a bit thick)
