White Texas Sheet Cake (Almond Cake)

1 C. water
2 C. flour
2 C. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
2 eggs
1/2 C. sour cream

In a large saucepan, bring the butter and water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients until smooth (I use a whisk). Pour batter into a greased jelly roll pan (10x15x1). Bake at 350 degrees for 12-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes and then spread frosting over the warm cake.
