Cake

Bring the butter, cocoa, and water to a boil, then pour over the flour, sugar, and salt. Stir in the sour cream and soda.

Pour into a jelly roll pan (17x11) Bake at 375℉ for 20 minutes.

Frosting

(milk, butter, cocoa, nuts, sugar, vanilla)

Frosting will take about 10 minutes to make, so start with 10 minutes left on the cake timer. Boil the milk, butter, and cocoa, then add the rest of the ingredients.
