   1 3/4 c  Flour
       1 ts Baking soda

            Peanut butter chip frosting:
     1/3 c  Butter
     1/3 c  Milk
      10 oz Peanut butter chips
       1 ts Vanilla
       1 c  Powdered sugar
  
      Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 15-1/2x10-1/2x1″
   jellyroll pan. In medium saucepan, combine water, butter
   and cocoa. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally,
   until mixture boils. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat; set
   aside.
     In large mixer bowl, stir together sugar, flour, baking
   soda and salt. Add eggs and sour cream; beat until blended.
   Add cocoa mixture; beat just until blended. Batter will be
   thin. Pour into prepared pan. Bake in a 350 oven for 25 to
   30 minutes or until wooden pick inserted into the center
   comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on wire rack. Spread
   Peanut Chip Frosting over the top of the cake. Drizzle
   chocolate garnish over top, if desired.
     Peanut Butter Frosting: In medium saucepan, combine
   butter, milk and peanut butter chips. Cook over low heat,
   stirring constantly, until chips are melted and mixture is
   smooth. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. In small mixer
   bowl, place powdered sugar. Gradually add chip mixture,
   beating until well blended. Makes about 2 cups frosting.
     Chocolate Garnish: In a small microwave-safe bowl, place
   1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon
   shortening; cook on high for 1 minute. Stir until chips are
   melted and mixture is smooth. Do not use butter or
   margarine.  Makes about 20 servings.
