This Texas sheet cake is hands down my all-time favorite cake! I fell in love with making it after my grandmother shared the recipe with me. This dessert is super quick, easy, and fun to make. I definitely recommend this for first-time bakers and anyone else who would love to take a bite out of a delicious chocolate treat.
Ingredients
Frosting
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 6 tablespoons milk
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
Cake
- 1 cup salted butter
- 1 cup water
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups white sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10×15-inch cake pan.
Step 2
Prepare the cake: Combine butter, water, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook until butter has melted and mixture comes to a boil. Remove from the heat and cool slightly.
Step 3
Meanwhile, mix flour, sugar, and salt together in a large bowl. Beat buttermilk, eggs, baking soda, and vanilla extract together in a separate bowl.
Step 4
Add melted butter mixture to flour mixture, then add buttermilk-egg mixture and beat until thoroughly combined. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Remove cake from the oven and cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
Step 6
While the cake bakes, make the frosting: Combine butter, milk, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter melts, then stir in powdered sugar.
Step 7
Spread frosting over the warm cake.
Tips
Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) if you are using a dark-coated pan.
