Instructions

Making the Cake:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix well until everything is combined.
  4. Gradually add the boiling water to the mixture, stirring continuously. The batter will be thin, but that's okay!
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Preparing the Frosting:

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
  4. Remove from heat and gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  5. Pour the frosting over the cooled cake, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Tips for Success

To ensure your chocolate sheet cake turns out perfectly, here are a few tips:

  1. Measure your ingredients accurately. Baking is a science, and precise measurements are crucial for the best results.
  2. Don't overmix the batter. Mix just until the ingredients are combined to avoid a dense cake.
  3. Use high-quality cocoa powder. This will enhance the chocolate flavor and make your cake even more delicious.
  4. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will prevent the frosting from melting and ensure a smooth finish.

We hope you enjoy making and eating this chocolate sheet cake as much as we did. It’s truly the best we’ve ever had, and we’re sure it will become a favorite in your household too. Happy baking!
