A festive chocolate sheet cake rolled with creamy buttercream frosting, embodying the spirit of Christmas.

  • Total Time: 55 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Milk (as needed for frosting consistency)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a sheet pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, and buttermilk until light and fluffy.
  4. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and spread evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
  7. For frosting, beat the softened butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and milk until fluffy.
  8. Once the cake is cool, remove it from the pan, spread frosting on top, and roll it up tightly. Place seam side down, and frost the outside.
  9. Decorate with powdered sugar for snow and holiday decorations.

Notes

Ensure the cake cools completely before rolling to prevent cracking. Use room temperature ingredients for best frosting consistency.
