This is a delicious buttermilk chocolate cake topped with a warm, chocolate frosting. Quick, easy, and oh, so yummy!

This is my version of Texas sheet cake. So, Texas sheet cake is usually made in a jelly roll pan (15 x 10 x 1), but I took it up a notch and made it in a 9 x 13 cake pan. This is to create a thicker cake and a thicker layer of icing.

It looks good, doesn't it? This is another recipe that I got from my mom. She LOVES chocolate and so do I. Maybe she passed her love of chocolate down 🤷🏻‍♀️. This cake is so moist and rich that it may become your favorite chocolate cake of all time. It mixes up fast and while it's baking you can gather all of your ingredients for the frosting. Then you pour that creamy, rich frosting right on top of the cake and let it cool until you cut it. It's so delicious that you'll want to keep sneaking small pieces every time you walk by it! It's perfect for parties, great to take to cookouts, and really, just perfect.

Let the baking begin!

TIPS AND TRICKS:

- Always preheat your oven.

- Apple cider vinegar gives this cake some lift by reacting with the baking soda. You won't taste it at all.

- Cool cake for 25 minutes before pouring the frosting on.

- Wait until your cake is done baking before making the frosting.

- If you prefer, you can pour the frosting on the cake immediately after it comes out of the oven. This allows the icing to soak in a bit, giving you a thinner layer. It's personal preference!

- All refrigerated ingredients should be room temperature.
