1/3
cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2
cups confectioners' sugar
1/4
cup milk
1

Directions
Preheat
oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In
a large bowl, combine sugar, flour and salt. Set aside.
In
a small saucepan, bring 1 cup butter, water and 3 tablespoons cocoa to a boil.
Remove from heat. Add to flour mixture and beat until smooth.
In
a separate bowl, Mix sour cream, eggs, baking soda and cayenne pepper. Add to
the cake batter. Blend well. Pour batter into 9x13 inch pan.
Bake
at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick
inserted into center of cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
For
the Frosting: Melt 1/4 cup butter, add 1/3 cup cocoa. Add confectioners sugar,
milk and vanilla. Mix until smooth and free of lumps.
Decorating the Cake
Spread
frosting on the cooled cake. Cut into squares and serve. When I make this cake,
I like to serve it with a side of vanilla ice cream and one banana. They pepper
is what makes the flavor of this cake very unique. Few people will be able to
guess what is in this cake.
