Chocolate Sheet Cake

Chocolate is very popular with kids and every time I need to make a kids cake to take to school  it’s most often a sheet cake,  because it’s easy for the teacher to cut a rectangular cake as compared to a round cake.

I most often layer it with Vanilla or Chocolate American Buttercream (kids love buttercream) but it goes well with Chocolate Ganache too.

Makes one 9 x 13 in sheet pan about 2 inch tall
Ingredients
Tools
For the cake
  • 500 grams / 4½ cups A P Flour
  • 85 / ¾ cup grams Cocoa Powder
  • 300 grams / 1½ cup Dark Brown Sugar
  • 300 grams / 1¼ cup White Granulated Sugar
  • 1½ tsp Baking Soda
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 150 ml Vegetable Oil
  • 200 grams Butter Melted
  • 200 ml Sour Cream
  • 350 ml Water (boiling)
  • 100 ml Milk
  • 2 tsp Coffee
  • 2 tsp Vanilla
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 170 C/340 F
  2. Prepare your pans for baking. (Grease and line)
  3. Have all your ingredients ready at room temperature.
  4. Sift the flour, baking soda, salt and set aside.
  5. You can use an electric mixture but this today I'm using a whisk.
  6. In a bowl, add both sugars, melted butter and oil. Use a whisk and stir so the sugar will melt into the fat.
  7. Add the boiling water into the coffee and Cocoa powder.
  8. Add the cocoa mixture into the sugar mixture. Continue to stir melting the sugar.
  9. Add the milk into the sour cream, use a whisk and stir it smooth.
  10. Add sour cream mixture to the sugar and cocoa mixture.
  11. Break the eggs and whisk well.
  12. Add the eggs to the sugar and cocoa mixture. Add the Vanilla extract.
  13. At this stage you should have added all your liquid ingredients.
  14. Now it's time to add the liquid ingredients into the dry ingredients.
  15. It's best to add the liquid in three batches into the dry so you avoid lumps.
  16. Pour into your baking pan and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  17. Decorate when completely cold.

  3. Hi dear I have bought most of your calculated recipes they are great thanks alot. I have one question I have 4 orders this weekend all chocolate cake covered with fondant what do you recommend I should use

    • If you have my Calculated Recipes then all those are good for tiered cakes!! I formulated the recipes so they are good even in tiered cakes.
      Each recipes also tells you the best filling and frosting it pairs with. Look at the beginning of the recipe. Having said that my most popular chocolate cake with the customer are my VAOC Chocolate cake, Chocolate Fudge, and Chocolate Espressor. Make you sure take the clients personal preference – not all like the dense chocolate while some love it. <3
