The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake Ever by @thepioneerwoman

Ingredients:
– 3 ¾ sticks butter, salted
– 1 cup water
– 8 (heaping) Tbsp cocoa powder
– 2 cups flour
– 2 cups sugar
– ¼ tsp salt
– ½ cup buttermilk
– 2 eggs
– 2 tsp vanilla
– 1 tsp baking soda
– 6 Tbsp milk
– 1 lb powdered sugar
– ½ cup pecans (optional)

Directions:
.5 Preheat oven to 350℉ degrees.
1. Melt 2 sticks of regular butter in a sauce pan. Simultaneously boil 1 cup of water.
2. Add 4 heaping tablespoons of cocoa powder to the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
3. Pour in the boiling water and allow the mixture to bubble for 30 seconds. Turn off heat and set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, 2 cups sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir together.
5. Pour the hot butter mixture over the dry ingredients and stir together slightly, just to cool the chocolate.
6. In a measuring cup, pour 1/2 cup buttermilk and add to that 2 beaten eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Stir together.
7. Add the buttermilk mixture to the chocolate/flour mixture and stir well.
8. Pour the DELICIOUS batter onto an ungreased baking sheet or jelly roll pan and spread evenly.
9. Bake for 20 minutes. Time for icing!
10. If adding nuts, chop ½ cup of pecans. The smaller and crunchier the better. Omit for nut-free/picky kids. 🙋🏻
11. Melt 1 ¾ sticks of regular butter.
12. Once melted, add 4 heaping tablespoons of cocoa powder and stir together. Allow to bubble for 30 seconds and then turn off the heat.
13. Stir in 6 tablespoons milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla.
14. Add 1 lb powdered sugar, or to taste. For me, ½ lb is plenty.
15. Stir together. Add the nuts if you have them.
16. Pour the icing all over the cake and spread evenly. Devour. YUM.

    Jen fangirling over Ina is just staaaawp could it get any more adorable and genuine. Also, the pretend cooking show I has me decide that honestly… Jen would make an excellent President of the United States…. I’m not kidding…. No, I haven’t just binged Alias either…. Seriously, she could do it, be refreshing and unite people.

    What a nice woman. This is real cooking. Not the curated, privileged nonsense we get from certain others. I love her unfussiness.

    Love this cookbook. Pot roast-banger! Cinnamon rolls-banger! Chili-banger! (I use this one as our taco meat😋) I will say everyone I know who has this cookbook…it’s falling apart just like yours. Fortunately, none of her other books have done that. P-dub is the best!

    Another clue that the recipe is great is that the page in the cook book is stained. This means the recipe has been used over and over again. 😊😊

    Oh, this is the one that she makes all the time at her house that was part of the lore that she when she was talking about it and it sounded so interesting. I’ve heard of this kind of a recipe before. Yay thank you for showing us.
