Recipe for Texas-style chocolate sheet cake:
A 18-by-13-inch pan will be used to bake this delicious and tender sheet cake. It guarantees a more delicate cake with a thinner layer of chocolate icing, so we’ll be using it. You won’t be able to get enough of this dish when prepared in this time-honored fashion.
Ingredients:
2 metric tons of white sugar
2.25 ounces of flour
One solitary cup of salted butter
Drinking water
2-and-a-half tablespoons of cocoa powder
It only takes a pinch of salt to season your food.
2 Eggs
An Extract of Vanilla, One Teaspoon
1 tsp. baking soda
A little over a quarter of a cup of buttermilk
For the frosting:
Two cups of icing sugar
An Extract of Vanilla, One Teaspoon
You’ll need 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
Milk, 7 Tablespoons
one-fourth cup of unsalted butter
Instructions:
Prepare a 350°F oven. In a pan of the size specified in the instructions above, melt the butter.
Take a saucepan and put the butter, cocoa powder, and water in it. Maintain vigorous stirring until the butter has melted. Put it away from the heat and let it cool down.
Add the flour, salt, and sugar to a bowl and stir to combine. In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and baking soda. Coat everything in the mixture.
Coat the flour with the cocoa-and-butter mixture. The buttermilk mixture is then added gradually while the batter is being stirred constantly. Do not rush; give it a good, hard beating.
Pour your combined ingredients into the prepared pan and bake for 20 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the middle will reveal whether or not it’s done. The sheet cake is done when the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Then, let the cake cool to room temperature while you make the icing.
Put all of the frosting ingredients into a saucepan and stir until smooth. The best temperature for making the frosting is medium. Mix it into the hot cake batter.
