- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

- In a large bowl, cream together the melted butter and 2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

- In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup sour cream and 1 cup boiling water. Whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, prepare the frosting (recipe below).
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost generously and enjoy!
