Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 2 cups All purpose flour Make sure to sift for fluffiness.
  • 2 cups Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter Can substitute with salted butter and reduce salt.
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder Use high quality for best flavor.
  • 1 cup Water or brewed coffee Coffee enhances the chocolate flavor.
  • 2 large Eggs Bring to room temperature before use.
  • 1 cup Sour cream or buttermilk Keeps the cake moist.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Frosting Ingredients
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar Sift if lumpy.
  • 1/4 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder For frosting flavor.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances chocolate flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet or 9x13 pan with parchment paper and lightly grease.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a saucepan, melt butter and whisk in water (or coffee) and cocoa powder. Bring to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat.
  4. Pour the hot cocoa mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and sour cream; stir just until combined.
Baking
  1. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake until the center springs back lightly and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 20-25 minutes.
  2. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before frosting. Warm cake plus warm frosting creates the best texture.
  3. For frosting, mix powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and salt. Pour over slightly cooled cake.
Serving
  1. Cut into small squares or bites. Enjoy your delicious Texas sheet cake bites!
