Fall is here and I am all about the cozy soups and fall baking. I know that in September we usually turn to apples and pumpkin, but with 2020 being what it is, I definitely need a little chocolate here and there too! We love this Chocolate Sheet Cake because it is rich and moist and fudgy, but it’s also easy to make. It can serve a crowd, but it also freezes perfectly and keeps for a long time. No mixer required! Really, it’s the answer to almost everything 😉 If you love chocolate cake as much as we do, you’ll love my Best Brownies Ever and this Chocolate Mug Cake.
Chocolate Sheet Cake
My mom has been making this Chocolate Sheet Cake ever since I can remember! This cake is incredibly moist, and rich and chocolatey, and it is perfect for feeding a crowd. If you’re not feeding a crowd? It lasts several days in the fridge and it also freezes perfectly, so it’s perfect for when you need a little treat after dinner. The frosting on this Chocolate Sheet Cake is one of my favorite frostings because it doesn’t require a mixer at all. It’s made with melted butter, so it comes together with just a whisk and is spread over the cake while warm so there’s really no spreading! The prep time on this cake is so little, and it’s such a favorite that we make it often. Chocolate Sheet Cake is often called Texas Sheet Cake, and I’ll explain why down below!
What’s a Texas Sheet Cake?
Texas Sheet Cake is a chocolate cake the size of Texas! Essentially, a Texas Sheet Cake and a Chocolate Sheet Cake are the same thing, but the purists will say that a Texas Sheet Cake has a different type of frosting. Me? Well I’m the Recipe Rebel so I’m obviously not much of a purist with regards to any recipe 😉 It’s large size makes it perfect for gatherings, parties and potlucks, or just an after dinner treat for a few chocolate lovers 😉 I use an 11×17″ 12 cup KitchenAid rimmed baking sheet for this sheet cake. You can use a slightly larger one, but it will be a little thinner and you may want to reduce the bake time slightly.

Can You Freeze Chocolate Sheet Cake?
This sheet cake freezes incredibly well, with or without frosting! When I’m freezing with frosting, I like to refrigerate the cake until the frosting has set completely, then layer the pieces in a container with wax or parchment paper in between for easy removal. You can also freeze the cake as a whole, but I find that cutting into pieces is really convenient when you just want a bite of something sweet!
