SHEET CAKE THAT TASTES LIKE BROWNIES
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.

COCOA CAKE BROWNIES
These fudgy brownies are delicious. People say that the moist treats have a texture somewhere between chewy and cake-like brownies. We like to break them into pieces and create a trifle with chocolate pudding, toffee chips and whipped topping.-Helen Turner, Upland, Indiana

Steps:
- Position a rack in center of oven; preheat to 325°F. Very generously butter an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet (do not line with parchment).
- Melt remaining 1/2 cup butter in a small heatproof bowl in the microwave or set over a pot of barely simmering water. Mix sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl. Pour butter over and stir until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula after each addition, until batter is thick, shiny, and smooth. Stir in flour until well incorporated, then beat vigorously for 30-40 strokes. Stir in nuts or chocolate chips.
- Using a spatula, spread batter into a thin, even layer to edges and into corners of prepared sheet (batter will seem scant but brownies will rise to about 1/4" thick).
- Bake brownies until firm to the touch and a tester inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs (not runny batter) attached, 15-18 minutes.
- Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Cut into 36 pieces and serve.
- Do Ahead
- Brownies can be made 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container at room temperature, or freeze up to 6 months.
Tips:
- Use high-quality cocoa powder for a rich, chocolatey flavor.
- Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
- For a fudgy texture, use a ganache or chocolate buttercream frosting.
- Garnish the cake with chocolate shavings, chopped nuts, or fresh berries.
