Time 45m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup salted butter
1 cup water
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt
½ cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15-inch cake pan.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cake will be. Look for dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a 9x13 inch pan. This will give the cake a nice, even bake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Serve the cake with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include ice cream, whipped cream, and fresh fruit.

This Texas sheet cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make, delicious, and sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed.
