THE ABSOLUTE BEST DARK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP TEXAS SHEET CAKE
I have my share of sheet cakes over the years, this one is truly the best I have had--- the frosting recipe to go with this cake is recipe #89207 you may of coarse use your own favorite recipe. If you cannot make brewed coffee just use 1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 cup boiling water. This makes a huge moist rich deep chocolate cake which makes it great for a potluck or a children's birthday party :)

TEX-MEX CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE - THE BEST!
Rich and decadent, from deep in the heart of Texas! This truly is the absolute BEST chocolate sheet cake I've ever eaten!! The frosting features Mexican Ibarra chocolate (which is flavored with almonds and cinnamon), Texas pecans, and whipping cream. YUM! Note: A sheetcake is a long and flat single layer cake. This is a very well written recipe, and is relatively easy to prepare--and even easier to enjoy! :) I like mine with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Courtesy Ladies Home Journal.

Add boiling water, allow mixture to boil for 30 seconds, then turn off heat. Pour over flour mixture, and stir lightly to cool.

Cut into squares, eat, and totally wig out over the fact that you've just made the best chocolate sheet cake. Ever.
Tips for Making the Best Chocolate Sheet Cake
- Use high-quality chocolate. The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly affect the flavor of your cake. Look for chocolate that is at least 60% cacao.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
- Be creative with your frosting. You can use a simple chocolate frosting, or you can get creative and try a different flavor, such as peanut butter frosting or cream cheese frosting.
Conclusion
Chocolate sheet cake is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the best chocolate sheet cake that you have ever tasted. So what are you waiting for? Preheat your oven and start baking!
