Why I Love This Recipe
Did you know that sour cream in frosting not only adds a tangy flavor but also helps to enhance the moisture and richness of the frosting?
Ingredients You'll Need
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup Hershey cocoa unsweetened
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 large eggs
1 cup chocolate milk
1/2 cup Nesquik chocolate syrup
1/2 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream (for the frosting)
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream (for the frosting)
1/2 cup Hershey cocoa unsweetened (for the frosting)
1 cup powdered sugar (for the frosting)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for the frosting)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch sheet pan.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a medium bowl, beat together eggs, chocolate milk, Nesquik syrup, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour batter into the prepared sheet pan and tap gently to release any air bubbles.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a separate bowl, mix the sour cream, heavy cream, cocoa, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
Cool the cake completely on a wire rack before frosting.
Spread frosting evenly over the top of the cooled cake.
Slice and serve your moist, rich chocolate sheet cake!
