  • 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 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!
