Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x18-inch baking sheet or pan to prevent the cake from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well combined and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the water and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once the water and butter mixture is boiling, carefully pour it into the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Stir until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add the buttermilk mixture to the cake batter, stirring gently until the batter is smooth and well combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking sheet or pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, you can prepare your favorite chocolate frosting to top the cake. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly over the top.
- Slice the cake into squares and serve. Enjoy your delicious Kohls Chocolate Sheath Cake!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth mixing and optimal cake texture.
- Don't overmix the batter - mix just until ingredients are combined to keep the cake tender.
- For extra moisture, make sure to use buttermilk as specified in the recipe.
- Check the cake's doneness by inserting a toothpick - it should come out clean with just a few moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For an extra indulgent touch, serve the cake slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain its freshness.
