This IS the best chocolate sheet cake that I’ve ever eaten. I’ve made this cake soooo many times. It’s definitely one of our go-to cakes. I’ve made it with my gluten free flour mix and my family likes that version of the cake even better.

I’ve never liked cake before this recipe. It makes the most incredible cupcakes! 1 recipe = 24 cupcakes

Quick, easy, and FANTASTIC! Even better with “That’s the Best Frosting I’ve Ever Had”

So true to its name. It is very chocolaty so if not a huge chocolate lover may want a small piece…but you will still want to try it. Even my friends that aren’t big dessert people they loved it too.

I have never made a chocolate cake from scratch as good as this one. Beats all of the recipes I have tried! Best ever is right!

Holy smokes, this really is the best ever! Made it for the Mr. for his birthday last week. Rave reviews from the whole party! I made it with a different icing that uses sweetened condensed milk. About to make it again with this icing. Yum!

TWO THUMBS UP from hubby – and isn’t that what really matters?! Chocolately, moist, and the frosting is really good. You will not regret making this cake.
My singular disappointment with this recipe was that with the amount of the butter in the frosting, it literally slid out of my nonstick pot onto the cake so easily that it left me hardly anything to enjoy during the obligatory cake baking bowl licking… but then again, the dish didn’t take long to clean in the sink afterwards either.
The timing is great, while the cake cooked I was able to make the frosting and then also wash all the dishes and clean the counters – so when that cake came out it was welcomed by a clean and loving kitchen ready for chocolated goodness.

Made this for the first time tonight and fell in love with the recipe! Cake is super fast, super easy, and totally awesome. Might try a variation on the icing w/ toasted coconut and pecan…maybe some toffee pieces. This is definitely my new go-to chocolate cake.

I am following up with my first review, to again say how fantastic this is – hubby and I just had a piece fresh out of the oven!
I have made this 3 times in 1 week, with the excuse of freezing it for the holidays, etc – so far nothing is in the freezer and I have had to pull out my fat jeans.
I made this the second time using sour cream in place of buttermilk, in case you are low on milk. worked out wonderful! very light and fluffy and soft. In Texas they do lots of mayo and sc in cakes so either would probably work to replace the buttermilk, they both are creamy and acidic so replace bm fine.
The third time I replaced the buttermilk with sourdough starter. I have an ongoing starter several months old, and it just makes me feel good to use it in everything. It also made the cake absolutely wonderful, although it did puff up a more in the center than the other two. But couldn’t taste any difference!
FYI, I am using a normal brownie pan approx 13×9 – half of the recipe pan. The first time I cut Ree’s recipe in half, but that was too thin of a cake. So now I am using a full recipe in this half pan and it comes out the thickness of a normal one layer cake and is perfect. I also take a knife and stab a few holes into the warm cake to let the frosting fill in the holes here and there… just makes me feel good about it all.
My parents come home tonight and company arrives, so looking forward to serving this after dinner – even though two pieces are missing from the corner of the pan! Now off to make some cinnamon rolls…

True Story. This IS the best sheet cake EVER. I took this cake to our huge family Thanksgiving dinner because I knew there would be approximately 437 pumkin and/or pecan pies. The sheet cake was the first to go. It was delicious and so easy!

I just made this tonight for our anniversary dinner. Wow! Words fail me.

I made this and it was chocolate heaven in a pan.

I believe this was the first PW recipe I ever tried. It turned out great! I think, however that I ended up using a smaller pan and it made it a little thicker. But still scrumptious!

This really is the best chocolate cake ever! I love making this. I am going to make it as cupcakes today or tomorrow : )

Absolutely delicious!! Will make again and again. I had all the ingredients on hand except for the buttermilk. I did the white vinegar and regular milk substitution of 1/2 tablespoon milk and then added enough milk to make 1/2 cup. Perfect!
