A rich and moist chocolate sheet cake perfect for any occasion. This simple recipe yields a delicious dessert that feeds a crowd.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
  4. Carefully stir in the boiling water until just combined. The batter will be thin.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.

Notes

  • For an extra rich flavor, use dark cocoa powder.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the wet ingredients are added, as this can make the cake tough.
  • This cake pairs well with chocolate frosting, cream cheese frosting, or a simple dusting of powdered sugar.
