Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients: 280 g all purpose flour; 2 teaspoons baking soda; 1 tablespoon butter; 125 ml buttermilk; 3 tablespoons cocoa powder; 2 large eggs; 500 g icing sugar; 1 cup milk; 1 teaspoon salt; 1.5 cups sugar; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; 125 ml vegetable oil; 1 cup water

This chocolate buttermilk sheet cake is a straightforward bake, made in a 9"x13" pan. The cake itself starts with a boiled mixture of water, cocoa, oil, and butter, which gets whisked into the dry ingredients before folding in buttermilk, vanilla, and eggs. While the cake is still warm from the oven, you'll spread on a simple cooked frosting of butter, cocoa, milk, and sugar. If you like, stir in some chopped nuts for a little crunch.
