Chocolate Sheet CakeAuthor: Crystal Light Faulkner @ www.mrshappyhomemaker.com/And this my friends… there’s a reason it’s my favorite chocolate cake. It’s a sheet cake for one – but that’s not why it’s my favorite. It’s my favorite because it’s so darn decadent. To the perfectly moist cake to the fudgy icing… it’s perfection really.Ingredients FOR THE CAKE: 2 cups Flour 2 cups Sugar ¼ teaspoon Salt 4 Tablespoons (heaping) Cocoa 2 sticks Butter 1 cup Boiling Water ½ cup Buttermilk 2 whole Beaten Eggs 1 teaspoon Baking Soda 1 teaspoon Vanilla FOR FROSTING: 1-3/4 stick Butter 4 Tablespoons (heaping) Cocoa 6 Tablespoons Milk 1 teaspoon Vanilla 3 cups Powdered Sugar
Instructions Note: I use an 18x13 sheet cake pan. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. In a saucepan, melt butter. Add cocoa. Stir together. Add boiling water, allow mixture to boil for 30 seconds, then turn off heat. Pour over flour mixture, and stir lightly to cool. In a measuring cup, pour the buttermilk and add beaten eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Stir buttermilk mixture into butter/chocolate mixture. Pour into sheet cake pan and bake at 350-degrees for 20 minutes. While cake is baking, make the icing. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add cocoa, stir to combine, then turn off heat. Add the milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Stir together and pour over warm cake.Notes adapted from The Pioneer Woman
