Method

Chocolate Sheet Cake
  • Step 1: Adjust the oven rack to the middle position, pre-heat the oven to 350 °F (180 °C) and line an 8 inch (20cm) square baking tin with baking/paper.
  • Step 2: Melt together the chocolate and oil. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Step 3: Sift together the all-purpose flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Step 4: Add the melted chocolate mixture, non-dairy milk and water to the dry ingredients, and whisk well until you get a smooth cake batter.
  • Step 5: Transfer the cake batter to the lined baking tin, smooth out the top, and bake at 350 °F (180 °C) for about 30 minutes or until well risen, and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
  • Step 6: Allow the cake to cool in the baking tin, then remove from and transfer to a wire cooling rack.
Chocolate Frosting
  • Step 1: Take approximately 1 teaspoon of the cream mixture and roll it into a ball. Continue until you finish up the mixture.
    • In a saucepan, combine all the chocolate Frosting ingredients. Cook over medium heat with constant stirring until the chocolate has melted and you get a glossy, smooth chocolate mixture.
  • Step 2: Remove from heat and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Then, chill in the Fridge For a further 30 - 45 minutes with occasional stirring until it reaches a spreadable (but not runny) consistency.
  • Step 3: Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, spread the chocolate Frosting on top of the cooled sheet cake, creating decorative swirls.
  • Step 4: Decorate with toppings of choice.
  • Step 5: Slice into individual portions and serve.
