This is absolutely, without a doubt, the best chocolate sheet cake. Ever. It’s moist beyond imagination, chocolatey and rich like no one’s business and 100% of the time, it causes moans and groans from anyone who takes a bite. It’s made from basic ingredients. You don’t need Madagascar vanilla or Dutch processed cocoa. All you need is flour, butter, cocoa, salt, baking soda, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, powdered sugar, milk and pecans.

Dump in the chopped pecans and stir til well mixed. Immediately after removing the cake form 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.

5For a child’s birthday, omit pecans in the icing. Serve the cake with a large bowl of M&M’s and allow kids to decorate it themselves. This recipe 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 right into each tin.
