Provided by Kelly Anthony

Categories     Dessert

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup unsalted butter (cut into tablespoons)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 cup brewed coffee
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs, slightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup toasted pecan halves, roughly chopped ((optional))
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup whole milk
1/4 teaspoon + a pinch fine sea salt
3 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350° and have ready a greased jelly roll pan (10 1/2″ x 15 1/2″) lined with parchment paper to fit. If you do not have a jelly roll pan, use greased 9"x13" casserole dish, and see notes below.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Add butter, cocoa, and coffee to a saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture reaches a boil, whisk for 30 seconds and pour over the flour mixture. Stir until evenly mixed.
  • In a small bowl or measuring pitcher, combine buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla. Add the buttermilk mixture to the bowl and stir to combine.
  • Pour the batter into the pan and smooth over the top. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the center springs back slightly when gently poked. Start on the icing as soon as the cake comes out of the oven.
  • While the cake is baking, toast the pecans (if using). Add the pecan halves to a dry pan over medium-low heat and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat as soon as the pecans become fragrant. Do not allow to burn. Set aside until ready to use.
  • Once the cake is out of the oven, add the butter, cocoa, milk, and salt to a large saucepan over medium heat and stir. Allow butter to melt, then stir in the powdered sugar, until smooth and add the vanilla. If using pecans, add about 2/3 of them now.
  • Pour the icing over the warm cake and spread to the edges. Sprinkle the remaining pecans evenly over the top, if using. Set aside and allow the icing to set. Serve and enjoy.

Tips:

  • Ensure All Ingredients Are at Room Temperature: This helps the batter emulsify properly, resulting in a smooth and even cake texture.
  • Use Cake Flour: Cake flour has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, which produces a tender and delicate crumb.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar Until Light and Fluffy: This step incorporates air into the mixture, making the cake light and airy.
  • Gradually Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This prevents the batter from curdling.
  • Do Not Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Cake in a Water Bath: This helps prevent the cake from drying out and keeps it moist and tender.
  • Allow the Cake to Cool Completely Before Frosting: This ensures that the frosting sets properly and does not melt.

Conclusion:

White Texas buttermilk sheet cake is a classic Southern dessert that is loved by many. It is a simple yet delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its tender crumb, moist texture, and sweet buttermilk flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
