THE ABSOLUTE BEST DARK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP TEXAS SHEET CAKE



The Absolute Best Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip Texas Sheet Cake image

I have my share of sheet cakes over the years, this one is truly the best I have had--- the frosting recipe to go with this cake is recipe #89207 you may of coarse use your own favorite recipe. If you cannot make brewed coffee just use 1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 cup boiling water. This makes a huge moist rich deep chocolate cake which makes it great for a potluck or a children's birthday party :)

TEXAS SHEET CAKE



Texas Sheet Cake image

Expansive yet barely an inch tall, this chocolate-on-chocolate special of the Lone Star State starts with a cake that's even lighter than devil's food. A hot cocoa icing sheens its surface and soaks into the warm cake a bit, deepening its richness. Variations abound among cooks, but baking the batter in a shallow pan is key to achieving the just-right, fudgy-fluffy balance of icing to cake. While some recipes include pecans in the icing, this version keeps them on top of the cake so they stay crisp. It also calls for enough nuts to generously cover the whole top so there's crunch in every bite. If you'd like, you can sprinkle the top with a little flaky or coarse salt too.

Time 45m

Yield One 13-by-18-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup/227 grams unsalted butter, plus more for greasing the pan
2 cups/215 grams chopped pecans
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
2 cups/400 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/3 packed cup/40 grams unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1 cup hot coffee or water
1/2 cup/115 grams sour cream
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter
1/3 packed cup/40 grams unsweetened natural cocoa powder
1/4 cup/60 grams whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 packed cups/360 grams confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Make the cake: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a half-sheet pan (13-by-18-by-1-inch). Spread the pecans on a second half-sheet pan and bake until lightly toasted, 7 to 9 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt, and make a well in the center. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, stirring often. Add the cocoa powder and stir well. Then add the hot coffee and boil for 30 seconds, stirring continuously. Pour the mixture into the well in the dry ingredients, then fold gently just until no traces of flour remain. Set saucepan aside without washing.
  • Whisk the sour cream, eggs and vanilla in a medium bowl. Pour into the chocolate mixture and fold gently until incorporated. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few crumbs, 18 to 20 minutes. Set the pan on a wire rack.
  • Right after the cake comes out of the oven, make the icing: Melt the butter in the reserved saucepan over medium heat, stirring often. Add the cocoa and stir until smooth and bubbling, then turn off the heat. Add the milk, vanilla and confectioners' sugar, and stir until smooth. It's OK if there are tiny lumps.
  • Pour the warm frosting over the warm cake and spread evenly. Sprinkle the toasted pecans all over the top and gently press into the icing. Cool completely in the pan on a rack. The cake keeps, tightly wrapped, at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week and in the freezer for up to 3 months. If needed, bring to room temperature before serving.

TEX-MEX CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE - THE BEST!



Tex-Mex Chocolate Sheet Cake - the Best! image

Rich and decadent, from deep in the heart of Texas! This truly is the absolute BEST chocolate sheet cake I've ever eaten!! The frosting features Mexican Ibarra chocolate (which is flavored with almonds and cinnamon), Texas pecans, and whipping cream. YUM! Note: A sheetcake is a long and flat single layer cake. This is a very well written recipe, and is relatively easy to prepare--and even easier to enjoy! :) I like mine with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. Courtesy Ladies Home Journal.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor. A chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher is ideal.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • 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. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a sheet pan, you can bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.

Conclusion:

This dark chocolate chocolate chip Texas sheet cake is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's rich, fudgy, and packed with chocolate chips. Plus, it's easy to make and doesn't require any special ingredients. So next time you're in the mood for a chocolate fix, give this cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
