TEXAS SHEET CAKE RECIPE
Nothing says tradition like Texas Sheet Cake. I’m not exactly clear as to why this is called “Texas” sheet cake when it is really just a chocolate sheet cake. Some sources say it’s because the cake is “big as Texas”. Others note that it is a traditional southern cake, passed down from generation to generation. Whatever the official name or where it came from, this homemade sheet cake is delicious!
EASY CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE
If you’re nervous about making from-scratch cakes, this is a good recipe to start with. You’ll find it easy to melt the butter, water and cocoa powder together to make a creamy chocolate sauce. From that point, just add the dry ingredients, then add in the eggs and sour cream, which is going to make this cake very moist.
FROSTING FOR SHEET CAKE
It’s important to make this easy chocolate frosting while the cake is baking. One thing I love about Texas sheet cake is how the frosting “soaks” into the cake, making it extra moist. This happens because you frost the cake as soon as it comes out of the oven. Pour the frosting on and allow it to settle and “melt” into the cake. This is what gives the sheet cake such a shiny, smooth look.

For the Cake:
1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 cup hot water
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon baking soda
For the Frosting:
1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
6 tablespoons milk
1 pound powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts (for topping)
Instructions
For the Cake:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Grease the bottom and sides of a 17x11 cookie sheet pan.
In a saucepan, mix the butter, water and cocoa powder. Bring to a low boil.
Pour the chocolate mixture into a large bowl. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, flour and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the chocolate and mix well.
Add the eggs and mix well.
Add the sour cream and baking soda. Mix well.
Pour into the greased cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes.
For the Frosting:
*Plan to make the frosting about 15 minutes before the cake is done. The cake should be frosted while it is warm.
Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium low heat.
Add the cocoa powder and milk. Heat just until the mixture starts to bubble. Remove from the heat.
Using a hand mixer, gradually beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla until completely blended.
Spread the frosting on the cake as soon as it is out of the oven.
Allow the cake to cool completely.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container.

Chocolate Sheet Cake with Vanilla Bean Frosting
RECIPE COURTESY OF REE DRUMMOND
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr (includes cooling time)
Active: 20 min
Yield: 12 to 15 servings

Ingredients

Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter
4 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Frosting:

4 cups powdered sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) salted butter, softened
2 tablespoons whole milk
Dash of kosher salt
1 vanilla bean, split and caviar scraped

Directions

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Add the flour, granulated sugar and salt to a large bowl and stir together; set aside. Add the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs to a separate bowl. Mix with a fork and set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the cocoa and whisk to combine.

Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Pour the boiling water into the butter and cocoa pan. Allow to bubble for a moment, then turn off the heat.

Pour the cocoa mixture into the flour mixture. Stir together for a moment to allow it to cool slightly, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir together until smooth. Add the chocolate chips, stirring, then pour into an ungreased jelly roll pan (or rimmed baking sheet). Bake until an inserted cake tester comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes.

For the frosting: While the cake bakes, combine the powdered sugar, butter, milk, salt and vanilla bean caviar in a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, mix on low until incorporated. Increase the speed and mix until light and fluffy; set aside.

Spread the top of the cake with the frosting, slice and serve.
