SHEET CAKE THAT TASTES LIKE BROWNIES

Sheet Cake That Tastes Like Brownies image

This old-fashioned cake sends you straight to chocolate heaven. It's seriously one of the best chocolate cakes we've made. The cake is tender and melts in your mouth. The fudge-like frosting is full of pecans. Adding the frosting while the cake warms means the frosting soaks into the top layer of the cake.

Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, chewy brownie.
Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
Let the brownies cool completely before cutting them. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
Store the brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
To freeze the brownies, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
