Time 40m

Yield 24 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
4 tbsp. (heaping) cocoa powder
2 sticks butter
1 c. boiling water
1/2 c. buttermilk
2 whole beaten eggs
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. finely chopped pecans
1 3/4 sticks butter
4 tbsp. (heaping) cocoa powder
6 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 lb. (minus 1/2 cup) powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Note: I use an 18x13 sheet cake pan. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. In a saucepan, melt butter. Add cocoa. Stir together. Add boiling water, allow mixture to boil for 30 seconds, then turn off heat. Pour over flour mixture, and stir lightly to cool.
  • In a measuring cup, pour the buttermilk and add beaten eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Stir buttermilk mixture into butter/chocolate mixture. Pour into sheet cake pan and bake at 350-degrees for 20 minutes.
  • While cake is baking, make the icing. Chop pecans finely. Melt butter in a saucepan. Add cocoa, stir to combine, then turn off heat. Add the milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Stir together. Add the pecans, stir together, and pour over warm cake.Cut into squares, eat, and totally wig out over the fact that you've just made the best chocolate sheet cake. Ever.

OLD SOUTHERN CHOCOLATE PECAN SHEET CAKE



Old Southern Chocolate Pecan Sheet Cake image

I received this recipe from an old Southern cook, a copy of a copy of a typed-up sheet from long ago, annotated with her notes (which included the word oleo instead of margarine). I've never seen another chocolate cake recipe like it, which instructs the cook to heat part of the cake batter on the stove, and pour the cooked icing over a hot cake. The result is a wonderfully rich (yet surprisingly light) chocolate sheet cake topped with a cooked chocolate and pecan frosting. This cake has an incredible homemade taste, yet is foolproof! Will make you forget Duncan Hines®!

Time 55m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 cups white sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup water
½ cup vegetable shortening
½ cup margarine
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup buttermilk
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (16 ounce) box confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup butter
6 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease bottom and sides of a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Mix 2 cups white sugar, flour, and salt in a mixing bowl.
  • Combine water, vegetable shortening, margarine, and 3 tablespoons cocoa powder in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently. Pour liquid into flour mixture and stir well. Return saucepan to stove and set it aside.
  • Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk in a large liquid measuring cup and stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Pour egg mixture into cake batter and mix until fully combined. Transfer batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake the cake in preheated oven until cake springs back when touched lightly with a finger or a tester comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • While cake is baking, prepare icing using reserved saucepan. Combine confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, butter, milk, vanilla, and pecans in saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until hot but not boiling. Pour icing over hot cake immediately after it comes out of the oven. Allow cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
