Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • For the Frosting:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. 1Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a large sheet pan (approximately 18x13 inches).
  2. 2In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
  3. 3In a saucepan, combine butter, water, and cocoa. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Once boiling, remove from heat.
  4. 4Pour the hot chocolate mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
  5. 5In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the vanilla extract and buttermilk. Mix until combined.
  6. 6Gradually add the egg mixture to the chocolate batter and stir until smooth. If desired, fold in chopped pecans.
  7. 7Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. 8While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in cocoa powder and milk, and bring to a boil.
  9. 9Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth and well combined.
  10. 10Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool for about 10 minutes before spreading the warm frosting on top. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
