My easy chocolate sheet cake is basically perfect. So fluffy and FULL of chocolate flavor, without being oily and sad like so many store-bought cakes. A nice dollop of fudge transforms this buttercream into something almost magical but if you don't have any handy try adding in some ganache!
If You Don't Have Fudge Handy
If you're substituting the fudge for a ganache just scald 1/4 cup of cream or milk and pour over an equal amount or semi or bittersweet chocolate chips (or chopped). Let it sit for a few minutes then whisk together. You can add more or less of this into the buttercream It's really up to you!
TIPS AND POINTERS:
Use whole milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice as a substitute for the buttermilk.
You can substitute whole milk yogurt for the sour cream if desired, I do it all the time and can’t really tell the difference.
Hate coffee? Just use warm water instead!

I love this man so much! I'm 14 and I like to bake as a hobby and his kitchen looks so organized in his videos and he leaves the recipes in the description and I was nervous because I don't have buttermilk but in the description you explained how to substitute it! Thank you so much!

This cake is literally the best chocolate cake I've ever tried. I made this for my sister's bd and it turned out great every one loved it although i just lessened the amount of suger in the recipe cause we're not in to sweets alot and used different frosting it still was a total hit. Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes

You made lots of friends when you scooped the frosting on the cake. I think I'll do the same but not spread it out, but leave it with the scoops. Such a pretty look and I think it will be a hit.

How is it possible that you are not 700 pounds? If I merely breathe powdered sugar dust, I gain 10 pounds....

Getting ready to make this recipe for my daughter's birthday tomorrow, the most appealing thing about this recipe is the flat top cupcakes- I really want to decorate them without the icing sliding off. That controversial factor is what decided it for me. Thank you!

I made this cake for Easter Sunday dessert. Wow what a wonderfully delicious cake. Super moist and major chocolate flavor. The frosting is AMAZING. A winner in my book. Thanks for the detailed instructions. I felt confident and joyful making it.
