  • How to Make the Best Chocolate Sheet Cake
    Full Recipe: preppykitchen.com/chocolate-s...
    My easy chocolate sheet cake is basically perfect. So fluffy and FULL of chocolate flavor, without being oily and sad like so many store-bought cakes. A nice dollop of fudge transforms this buttercream into something almost magical but if you don't have any handy try adding in some ganache!
    If You Don't Have Fudge Handy
    If you're substituting the fudge for a ganache just scald 1/4 cup of cream or milk and pour over an equal amount or semi or bittersweet chocolate chips (or chopped). Let it sit for a few minutes then whisk together. You can add more or less of this into the buttercream It's really up to you!
    TIPS AND POINTERS:
    Use whole milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice as a substitute for the buttermilk.
    You can substitute whole milk yogurt for the sour cream if desired, I do it all the time and can’t really tell the difference.
    Hate coffee? Just use warm water instead!

    I replaced the sour cream and buttermilk by homemade plain yogurt! I've got to say, the best chocolate cake I've ever made!! And my guests loved it too! I didn't make the frosting, though. Here in Argentina we're not used to it, and although I love it, It's a lot of fat and sugar that I can do without :) I just sprinkled confectioner's sugar on top and VOILA!!!

    I made this and it is is by far the best chocolate cake ever! So moist and so chocolatey (btw, you don’t taste the coffee at all, just very chocolatey). I used his ganache recipe instead of this butter cream recipe because i personally don’t like butter cream. I added a few table spoons of brandy to the ganache and it made the ganache taste more sophisticated. If you can resist, let the cake sit overnight, the texture gets even more moist and rich after a day or two! Highly recommend this! 15/10! Thank you john!

    I made this yesterday. I was concerned the cake would be too salty or that I had added too much coffee but it was perfect! Baked for 55 minutes. Super moist! The buttercream was more dense and wasn’t as fluffy for me as the video which was sad for me lol. I’m not sure if I under or over beat it. It was also too sweet for me. I was going to cut the amount of sugar in the frosting then ended up using the whole amount. I used double the fudge which was a good decision. I didn’t use a whole 3/4 t salt as that was far more than a pinch for me. BUT it was overall delish and was a hit to the party I brought it to!! Also I made it with gluten free flour and it was perfect.

I also reduced the amount of sugar by 100g as I didnt want it too sweet. My cake baked in 30 mins in a wider tray and was still soft. However I had a bit of a crusty top, not too sure why. But this is such an easy cake to make, with a good frosting it will be delicious.
