Birthday Sheet Cake
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Intermediate
Total: 45 min
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 30 min
Yield: 1 (12x18-inch) cake
Ingredients
For the cake:
18 tablespoons (2 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 cups sugar
6 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
8 ounces (about 1 cup) sour cream, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 lemon, zested
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
For the frosting:
24 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
Chocolate candies for decorating (recommended: M&M's)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 12 by 18 by 1 1/2-inch sheet pan.
To make the cake, cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. On medium speed, add the eggs, 2 at a time, then the sour cream, vanilla, and lemon zest, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix well. Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir just until smooth. Finish mixing by hand to be sure the batter is well mixed. Pour evenly into the pan, smooth the top with a spatula, and bake in the center of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan to room temperature.
For the frosting, place the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until the chips are completely melted. Off the heat, add the corn syrup and vanilla and allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the chocolate mixture and softened butter on medium speed for a few minutes, until it's thickened.
Spread the frosting evenly on the cake. Have the children decorate the cake with chocolate candies.

What Is A Half Sheet Cake Size?
If you have ever been to a bakery, you likely know what a half sheet cake size is and have probably had one at a celebration before. It is a popular choice for birthday parties, graduations, baby showers or any special occasion. Since they are popular for celebrating special occasions, they can be beautifully decorated with custom text added to them.

How to Frost a Half Sheet Cake
***EDIT*** What I do now is I put down parchment on a cutting board, cover it in buttercream then lay the chilled cake on top and smoosh it down until it's level. Put the cardboard on top, fill the sides and ice it until its smooth with the bench scraper, put it in the freezer for 30 minutes then flip it back over and peel off the parchment that way you dont have to flip the buttercream. Dont know why I didnt think of that before.

How to Make a Carrot Cake Sheet Cake From Scratch | CHELSWEETS
This carrot cake sheet cake is made in one bowl & is incredibly moist! One batch makes a thick 9x13 sheet cake that's topped with cream cheese frosting.
I chose not to include any mix-ins like raisins or nuts, but you can fold in 1/2 cup of raisins or 1 cut of chopped walnuts with the carrots if you want!
The recipe can be found here:
These are the flower nails I use when I make sheet cakes:
This is my favorite 9x13 sheet pan! It has straight sides and bakes really evenly:

Texas Sheet Cake Recipe | Chocolate Sheet Cake
How to make homemade Texas Sheet Cake! This Texas Sheet Cake Recipe is one from Greg's family cookbook! We are making this Texas Sheet cake with no nuts, as it's for Greg's birthday, and he does not like nuts. Texas Sheet Cake is like a brownie type cake with amazing frosting. It's hard to even describe! It's delicious!
Check out Charles and Thor's Channel:
Ingredients:
2 Cups of Flour
2 Cups of Sugar
2 sticks margerine
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup water
2 Eggs
4 Tbsp Cocoa
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Baking Soda
Frosting Ingredients
3 cups Powdered Sugar
1 stick margarine
1/3 cup Milk
4 Tbsp Cocoa
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. For the cake, mix together flour and sugar, set aside. In a saucepan, mix Margarine, water and cocoa, and bring to a rapid bowl. Stir into the flour and sugar, and quickly add buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and baking soda. Pour onto a greased cake pan. Place in the oven for 15 -17 minutes.
The secret to this cake is to have the frosting still be warm as the warm cake comes out of the oven. So when there is around 5 - 7 minutes left on the cake, take the margarine, milk and cocoa, and bring it to a rapid boil in a saucepan. In another bowl, have 3 cups of powdered sugar. Once the mixture comes to a boil, pour it over the powdered sugar and mix like crazy!
While the frosting is still hot, and the cake is still hot, pour the frosting all over the cake and spread it out. That's it! Once the cake gets down to room temperature, it's good to eat!
