Instructions
-
Sheet Cake
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, sugar, and salt.
- In a small sauce pan heat butter, water, and cocoa. Mix until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Make sour milk by adding vinegar and set aside. After a few minutes add eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- Temper egg mixture by slowly adding chocolate mix a 1/2 cup at a time. This will prevent the eggs from cooking while you mix it in. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix. Pour into a half sheet pan (15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1) and bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes or until done. Chocolate Icing
- In a small sauce pan heat butter, milk, and cocoa powder and mix well. Remove from heat and add confectioners sugar and vanilla.
- Frost with chocolate icing while cake is still hot. You can add your favorite nuts too if you want to add a little crunch. I recommend walnuts, pecans, or macadamia nuts!
