- Yield: 1 chocolate sheet cake
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan (for a thinner cake, use a 13-by-18-inch sheet pan). Dust the bottom and sides of the pan with cocoa powder.
- Whisk 2 1/4 cups flour, 1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder in a bowl.
- Pour 1 cup boiling water over 3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder in a separate bowl; whisk until smooth. Let cool 10 minutes, then whisk in 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup each vegetable oil and buttermilk, 2 room-temperature eggs and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Whisk in the flour mixture in two batches until smooth.
- Spread the batter in the prepared pan and tap on the counter to release any air bubbles. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 45 minutes (if using a sheet pan, bake only 30 to 35 minutes). Transfer to a rack and let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
