Chocolate Sheet Cake
By mikeimmell
Chocolate Sheath Cake
- CAKE:
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine
- NOTE: I prefer using the butter over the margarine because the cake has a better flavor and it's a better more heart friendly option than using margarine in a recipe and using the butter does not affect it's moistness or texture.
- 5 tbsp. cocoa
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
- 2 eggs well beaten
- ICING:
- 1 stick (1/2 c.) butter or margarine
- Note: I prefer butter over the margarine because the icing has more flavor and the texture is more smooth when using the butter. Also, believe it or not, it's a more heart friendly option and than using margarine in a recipe.
- 6 tbsp. Half 'n Half, or milk, or evaporated milk
- 1 tbsp. pure vanilla extract
- 4 tbsp. cocoa
- 1 box ( 1 lb.) of powdered sugar
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
- Note: Toasting the pecans or walnuts in a very hot skillet prior to adding them to the icing adds additional flavor, but this step is optional and may be omitted.
