Hello and welcome to solsarin. This post is about “pioneer woman chocolate sheet cake“.

Chocolate

Chocolate is a food product made from roasted and ground cacao seed kernels, that is available as a liquid, solid or paste, on its own or as a flavoring agent in other foods. Cacao has been consumed in some form since at least the Olmec civilization (19th-11th century BCE),[1][2] and the majority of Mesoamerican people ─ including the Maya and Aztecs ─ made chocolate beverages.[3]

Directions

  1. For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt. Stir together and set aside.
  3. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Mix with a fork and set aside.
  4. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and add the cocoa. Whisk together to combine. Meanwhile, bring 1 cup water to a boil. When the butter is melted, pour the boiling water in the pan. Allow to bubble for a moment, then turn off the heat. Pour the chocolate mixture into the flour mixture. Stir together for a moment to cool the chocolate, then pour in the egg mixture. Stir together until smooth, then pour into an ungreased jelly roll pan (or rimmed baking sheet) and bake for 20 minutes.
  5. While the cake is baking, make the icing: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the cocoa powder and stir until smooth. Add the milk, vanilla and powdered sugar. Stir together. Dump in the pecans and stir until well combined.
  6. Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, pour the warm icing over the top. You’ll want to avoid doing much spreading, so try to distribute it evenly as you pour.

Cook’s Note

For a child’s birthday, omit pecans in the icing. Serve the cake with a large bowl of M and M’s and allow the kids to decorate it themselves. This cake can also be made into cupcakes: Just fill muffin tins a little less full with the batter than you normally would so the baked cupcakes remain below the upper rim. That way, the thin icing can be poured into each tin.

Why Is It Called Texas Sheet Cake?

According to some sources, it’s been called a “Texas” sheet cake because it was first published in a Texas paper, but others assert the name comes from the fact that it’s as large as Texas. Although this cake’s origins may be unclear, it is a true crowd-pleaser.
