Ingredients

This classic chocolate sheet cake recipe features a deliciously moist and fudgy cake, covered in a rich, creamy chocolate frosting. To make it, you will need:

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup vegetable oil
1 cup buttermilk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix together until no dry streaks remain. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a medium saucepan, melt together the butter and chocolate chips until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Finally, stir in the boiling water until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

When the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and spread the frosting over the top. Let the cake cool completely before serving.
