Maple Fudge Sour Cream Cake

Sometimes I’m just in the mood for a plain piece of cake with icing; something that goes well with a glass of milk. This is one of those recipes I wrote out many years ago and I don’t know where it’s from. Ingredients include those that you most likely have on hand and it’s easy. You will notice that it has no maple flavoring added to it, but it does have that maple or caramel flavor. You could add some, but it’s great the way it is. If the batter is a little hard to spread, but just wetting the spoon or spatula helps.

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 c brown sugar
1 c sour cream
2 cups flour
1 ½ tsp baking powder
½ tsp soda
¼ tsp salt

Beat egg, adding sugar gradually, and then sour cream, beating until smooth. Add combined dry ingredients. Spread into greased 9 X 9 pan. Bake at 350F, about 30 min. Cool and ice.

Maple Fudge Icing:
1 c brown sugar
1/3 c butter
1/3 cup milk
1 cup icing sugar

Boil brown sugar, butter and milk hard, stirring constantly, 3 min. COOL to lukewarm. Stir in icing sugar and continue stirring until spreadable consistency. This makes a generous amount of icing, but it’s pot licking good!!
