Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a 18x13 inch pan.
- Add water butter cocoa powder to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring mixture to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in a separate bowl mix together the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt.
- In another small bowl mix together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla.
- Add egg mixture to the flour mixture and mix with a spatula until combined.
- Once the chocolate mixture in the saucepan is boiling, remove it from heat and pour it into the batter. Mix with a whisk until combined and no lumps remain.
- Pour mixture into the prepared pan and smooth with a spatula to make sure it is dispersed in an even layer.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes or until set.
- When the cake is about half-way through cooking, prepare the frosting.
Frosting
- Add milk, cocoa and butter to a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, remove it from the heat and stir in powdered sugar and vanilla using a whisk.
- Pour hot icing over hot cake. Use a spatula to spread it evenly over the cake. Allow frosting to set for about 10 minutes before eating.
Notes
- Cover the sheet pan tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, or transfer the slices of cake to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to a week. You can also store in the fridge to extend the life of the cake.
- Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months, allow to thaw completely before serving!
