Here are some tips for making my Extra Chocolatey Chocolate Sheet Cake:

  • This sour cream in this recipe in there solely to keep this cake moist for even longer. If you do not have sour cream, feel free to leave it out of the recipe without compromising taste at all.
  • This recipe can also be used to make cupcakes. To do this, simply fill lined or greased cupcake tins 3/4 full with the batter and then pour the icing on top of the cooled cupcakes.
  • DO NOT overbake this cake! One of the best things about sheet cake is how moist the cake stays because of the warm icing the it is drenched in. Overbaking a cake is one of the best ways to dry it out, and you definitely do not want to do that!
  • This cake will stay fresh and delicious when kept at room temperature for up to a week.

Instructions

For the cake
