In a medium saucepan, bring butter and water to a boil.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add flour and sugar. Mix. Then add in eggs, sour cream, almond extract, baking soda and salt.
Slowly pour in the boiling butter/water mixture. Stir with a spatula until well combined and smooth. (No need to use an electric mixer!)
Pour batter into a greased 15x10-inch baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 20 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool cake for about 20 minutes.
