Ingredients
Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup water
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup buttermilk (see note)
- 2 eggs
Frosting
- 6 tablespoons buttermilk
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 pound powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Cake
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat the inside of a rimmed half sheet baking pan with non-stick cooking spray that has flour in it. Set aside.
- Mix flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.
- Combine water, cocoa powder, and butter in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking often. Remove from heat, pour into the bowl with dry ingredients. Mix together until just combined.
- Add buttermilk and eggs and mix to combine. The batter will be thin.
- Pour batter into prepared baking sheet. Make sure it's distributed evenly.
- Bake for 15-to 20 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the cake bounces back when lightly touched.
- Remove from oven and place baking sheet on a wire rack to cool to room temperature.
Frosting
- In a medium saucepan, heat over medium heat buttermilk, butter and cocoa until bubbly. Mix in sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add in nuts and blend until incorporated.
- Spread frosting over the entire cake, spreading into an even layer. Let frosting set before cutting the cake into 15 slices. Store any leftovers in an air-tight container or cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap.
Notes
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make sour milk instead. Add 1 teaspoon white vinegar to 1 cup milk and let it sit for a few minutes. Then use as directed.
