How To Make A Chocolate Sheet Cake Recipe | Sorted Food

[@MsDinoGal]

"This recipe is foolproof!" Mike immediately makes a mistake. Brilliant!

[@JerseyLoveee]

Mike handling all that chocolate was seriously attractive.

[@MsSpark111]

Ikr?! His passion for ganache really comes across♥ and a guy who likes and enjoys chocolate like him is really sexy haha :D

[@iAaronHD]

What is wrong with you women, lol.

[@ambiekw]

Glad to know I wasn't the only one... :) x

[@anna_bandana]

Amber Wazacz was about to say the same lol

[@lovefrombee]

I wish I knew how to make a chocolate cake now but I was too busy watching the eye candy that is Mike. I'll have to go and watch it again.

[@dagmarosey]

Videos with Mike are my favourite, he's always so eager to learn and is so complimentary of Ben's skills. I find that so endearing to watch, and very encouraging as a viewer!

[@JusticeOfPeace_95]

"Your chocolate cake is dryer than Gandhis flip flop," I feel like that needs to be on a shirt

This definitely wasn't in the monsoon season...

Texas Sheet Cake is the base of many of my favorite cakes ever. My version has a bit of cinnamon in the batter for a subtle twist (but definitely optional). Then after it comes out of the oven I top the cake with a 20 oz. can of crushed pineapple (well drained) and then add a mocha fudge frosting on top of that. If the cake is still a bit warm, it helps the mocha fudge frosting spread easier. HEAVEN! That cake is a great basic that my family sometimes tops with the mocha fudge frosting but with chopped pecans and shredded coconut instead of (or in addition to) the pineapple! All three versions are fabulous and always moist and delicious! It's basically a great chocolate cake base for any yummy frosting, ganache, icing, glaze or topping of choice! Thanks for bringing a simple bit of Texas to the world wide web via the UK!

[@lljb_]

Here's a funny thought to lighten your day. Imagine sorted food in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. Jamie would have the waterfall scene, Mike would constantly moan about waking up early, Barry would be the only one to fit in the tunnels and Ben oh Ben would try and critique the bush tucker trials and would smuggle condiments in his trousers. Just something I thought I'd share :)

COMMENT OF THE WEEK!!!

[@VamLoveAndKisses]

Definitely comment of the week there!

[@woaininini]

COMMENT OF THE WEEK; )

[@Pedrolisbao]

I must say I was feeling insecure at the beginning, thinking that my chocolate cake recipe was all wrong, but incredibly I found out you did it exactly like I do! Like, same steps same ingredients and amounts. Made my day! (I sometimes use sour cream, since buttermilk is harder to find). I do generally avoid ganache, not to upset my doctor. You know, my doctor is also my wife. I then make it a bundt cake and mix some chopped up dates and cranberries in the batter. It is the perfect pairing for a cup of coffee. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to congratulate myself for five hours now.

[@dancerCAMbree]

I'm from Texas...born and raised and still here...and I have never heard of this. But thanks for introducing it to me! And if y'all ever decide to come visit Northeast or West Texas, just let me know! ;D

[@jessymalham555]

For ages I have been waiting for SortedFood to hit 1,000,000 subscribers and you guys are so close! :)

[@chailiensunite819]

I love the fact that all of the boys on this channel can have a laugh together yet be so close at the same time 😊

[@shivtekoriginal]

I agree with the honey thing, I added it to hummus the last couple of times I made some; it tasted and felt beautiful.

[@graceweiss4725]

I have to stop watching these videos on an empty stomach. Oh my gosh... See this is why I love you guys

[@dokida]

My boyfriend's mother JUST made a Texas sheet cake last week for a party we had! We still have some left. It's just as delicious as it was four days ago.

[@limelyx]

Looking good! Seems so similar to the very popular chocolate Kladdkaka that a lot of Swedish people like :) Literally translates to ''messy/sticky cake''. The process is about the same except that there is no buttermilk in ours, only a lot of butter and some milk. Served with whipped cream :)

[@jpanda]

Ooh, I didn't even think of that! It does seem similar, and Sorted should definitely try the great, Swedish Kladdkaka :)

[@limelyx]

Agreed! :D So I assume you might be Swedish then, Johanna G ? :)

[@jpanda]

Yep! :)

[@limelyx]

Fantastic :D

[@CryptidValentine]

Ah yes, wouldn't that just be perfect. A delicious kladdkaka

[@KayMae724]

My grandma used to make Texas Sheet Cake all the time! Chocolate, white cake, I think a red velvet too? But we always had a buttercream icing to top it off. The ganache sounds great though!

[@sukiXrose]

Could I also possibly request some recipes that could be cooked in a student kitchen? I.e. one that is cheap and can be made without anything fancy- no blender, no freezer, no nuthin' but would still work. I love your recipes, but since going to university I haven't been able to make any of them! :(

[@MsSpark111]

Mike's passion for ganache is really evident and hot! Love anything with ganache♥

[@whatmatterofminutes]

Just made this on a whim, only I don't have any raising agent. It's a delicious...brownie? Fudge cake? The ganache is great too, thanks Sorted!

[@brandibaumeier9194]

My family’s Texas sheet cake is more like a chocolate version of lemon drizzle. Our icing is thinner and we poke holes with a chopstick so it drizzles in. Definitely the most moist chocolate cake ever.

[@crazylazygirl123]

A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. YOU HAVE A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. PLEASE PLEASE MIKE MAKE A SONG ABOUT THIS GLORIOUS CELEBRATION,

[@fibeismyname]

So, i'm at work, very hungry therefore very angry watching this video and wanting to make the chocolate cake but i can't, which makes me angrier and therefore hungrier. The only thing that i can do for now to be distracted from that cake is to fixate on Mike's face of course (Ladies, am i right ?!), or maybe my work!

[@SortedFood]

fibeismyname I think the word you're looking for is 'hangry'...

[@abigailodetayo3605]

Make a cake in a mug! It's only like 4 minutes in the microwave and it will kill all chocolate cake cravings :)

[@fibeismyname]

SORTED Food Touché!

[@DR01010]

You're watching Sorted at work?? Must be an awesome job!

[@martuwinter9123]

Drinking game: Take a shot every time Ben says 'Moist'

[@aislingniamhnirvananovak5814]

ayyyy tabinof

[@Beachgirl1950]

I am a Texan and I love sheet cake, and it may very well be my favorite cake. Looks delicious. :)

[@Slaineh]

I coat my pecans, with melted butter, cayenne pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika... Mix them all around, heat them up in an oven... Soooo good :D

[@hudarahim4140]

my mom's texas chocolate cake is the best.. it's fondly known in the family as 'kek hitam' or black cake..buttermilk is quite hard to come by in the part of Malaysia where I'm from, so she substituted it with milk+vinegar.

[@BBQGuys]

That Cake looks incredible! Great Recipe guys!

[@theblacksmith6343]

Grew up on Texas sheet cake and Gooey Butter Cake. Would love to see what you guys do with the latter.

[@brisagonzalez314]

Heck yeah Texas! I've always made The Pioneer Woman's Texas Sheet Cake recipe but I'll definitely give y'alls a try :) I'd love to see your take on some other Southern foods such as biscuits with sawmill (sausage) gravy or chicken fried steak!

[@audriac09]

Ben saying Texas *melt* This Texan says howdy! AND chocolate! So much to love in this video :)

[@museofthesea]

Actually, I'm here because I really like your recipes and enjoy the videos (my chocolate cakes already turn out very well). You've said a couple of times now that we viewers must not be good cooks, but it simply isn't true. Give yourself more credit, guys; good cooks can like you too!

[@dpearce19]

I am so making this!! And Mike is so incredibly adorable in this vid!

[@pirategloria]

Thanks for the video. I have been trying different chocolate cake recipe,but I'm always unsatisfied with the results. I will dedicatedly try this recipe :) thanks guys

[@watermellonarchie]

Ben! If this batter were to go into a regular 9 inch tin, how would the baking temperature and timing differ?

[@dapper3160]

This has been my go to recipe for chocolate cake since this video came out. Love it, so good!

[@aimeekandola6930]

Congratulations on 1 million subscribers! You deserve it! :)

[@howtoSmile101]

Question, why did you leave it in the tin? Will it break if I remove it from the tin, or was it just for presentation?

[@Number41gs]

My family has been making this cake for generations. The best.

[@janaangle5530]

My Aunt makes an amazing Texas sheet cake for our family Christmas party. 😊

[@shuchinsk]

Pretty sweet knife skills there, Mike! You're turning into a chef.

[@SpelledWITH2Ls]

One of the things I will do when making a sheet cake, is you put the ganache(icing in my case) while the cake is still hot. It makes the surface really smooth.

[@Mrsgates2010]

I live in the South and we prepare our Pecans like that always but the BIG difference is....we always beat our egg whites till foamy first, add brown sugar then nuts.

[@CaraWilhelm]

I am actually not a huge Texas Sheet cake person--I tend to find them too rich. This recipe, I might give a shot, though--the ganache sounds amazing!

[@stephsmalls92]

As a Texan living away from home, I'm very excited you put this because A) reminds me of home B) Brits did a Texas recipe. However I am C) sad because you didn't capitalize "T" in describing Texan sheet cake in the description. Por que SORTED? Por que?

[@LisaNovak95]

Is there something you have to put in to replace the cocoa powder if you want to make a vanilla or butter version?

[@Bluestardrummer]

My mum makes this very recipe for all special (and ordinary) occasions! It is soooo yummy. I love the idea of adding the nuts, we'll be sure to try it next time ^-^

[@TheStrangelady]

"regular or regular - you decide" - Thanks Ben, I really appreciate your encouragement to try new and crazy things.

[@Xavier-gv1zx]

Almost at 1 million subscribers I can't wait :D I really hope for a special video. Always making good videos Ben, Jamie, the other Jamie and Mike :D

[@mrbarrylewis]

Gotta try this one with my Girls!

[@TheDenisedrake]

Ben! I thought sugar was considered a wet ingredient. Shouldn't it have gone in with the chocolate and butter mixture?

[@F1rst8dKit]

Sugar for me is a dry ingredient. I guess it could change with the recipe, cookies it would be more wet? maybe with candy based recipes too, but with a cake it goes with flour, salt, baking powder etc.

[@TheDenisedrake]

***** It would be a great experiment to see how different a cake, or other recipe, is by changing the order of ingredients. Sorted would need to clearly label it Super Geek or something for all the mundane subscribers who don't think (obsess) about such things.

[@1111poul]

TheDenisedrake It is, because it can be dissolved in liquid.

[@catiko4297]

The best reaction i've seen from Mike! Happiest Boy on earth!

[@Irishdancee72]

I have a nut allergy that is really severe, could you try and do a 3 course meal where their would usually be nuts but do a alternative? thanks xx

[@melaniecenturion7322]

Uuuuuurrrrgghhhh they couldnt post this like literally yesterday? I made ganache last night and would have loved to know that honey made it shiner!

[@londonrobinson2922]

Ooh, I'm not sure if I've only just noticed it or if this is the first video like this, but whatever the case the new video format and intro style are cool :)

[@somethingcool0808]

Congratulations on a million guys!!!

[@najordan89]

Can you substitute honey for corn syrup? I don't particularly like corn syrup and I hardly have it in my pantry but I always have honey.

[@TheNaMa6]

I had no idea it was 'Texan' sheet cake until today. I was born and raised in Texas. Now that I think about it, though, sheet cake is a fan favorite here. Also bundt cake.

[@selamw]

That look of disgust on Mike's face when Ben said 'moist' as they were eating.

[@nidaaizaz755]

Hahaha, true that.

[@rosaliebeth1729]

Could you add in chilli powder to make a chocolate chilli cake? Would you have to add any more wet ingredients to balance it out or would it be ok?

[@PuppeRutsu]

This looks delicious!!! it's definitely going into my chocolate cakes recipe book gotta try it ASAP

[@ann-kathrinh6337]

I like to add espresso powder to chocolate cakes, it brings out the chocolatey flavour even more. Just a teaspoon instant espresso!

[@metalangel01]

Is the honey necessary for the shine factor? or can you add something else like corn syrup? I'm allergic to honey..yes,I know..it's terrible:(

[@FelicityTrinh]

Will definitely try this! That ganache looks so so good!

[@midgarsommernier]

Are there any alternatives to using milk? Would water or canned coconut milk work?

[@chocmilkshake24]

my family loved it. thank you for the amazing recipe!

[@skippymagrue]

We made this for a large church gathering once and my mom gave this recipe to give different ladies to make. Same recipe but there were six (my mom made one too) different Texas sheet cakes. And we definitely don't make a ganache to put over it.

[@ThinlyCut90]

I made this yesterday, and it was so delicious!

[@NoemiLopez-tv9hv]

Looks like brownie!!! OMG! i can't imagine how good its taste that! 😱💃👍👏

[@beckycaughel7557]

Nothing beats Texas sheet cake it’s been decades since I’ve made it myself I’ll have to do that

[@iKitaBita]

I found their channel through Good Mythical Morning and subscribed for the awesome accents. :D!

[@nelle541]

So making this cake for two reasons: 1. Ben has done the impossible and has provided me with the most simple chocolate cake recipe i have ever seen! #prayersanswered 2. MIKE!!!! no further reasons needed

[@robcol125]

Any substitute for butter milk? I can't find it anywhere!

[@lienanhvotran2254]

What is the size of your baking tray?? And what is the thickness of the cake??

[@Sara-km9qg]

I cant find buttermilk in my country what good choise i can replace it with ?

[@bellkij9488]

please, do some video with that roasted nut. how many ways to make crispy nut?

[@sandratakla4396]

If I just measure everything out on a scale would it work? Cause I tried that with the mug brownie recipe and it didn't work.

[@Xavier-gv1zx]

Instead of using raising agent, can I use self-raising flour?

[@JACK-B-Y]

I'm not a dark chocolate lover, but could I use white chocolate? Or would it be too sweet?

[@SortedFood]

Jack Yetton It would be sweet, but should still be good!

[@christychung7039]

YOU GUYS ARE SO CLOSE TO ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS :DDD

[@maczobam]

What ever happened to your soup guide? I was looking for it the other day on you KZbin channel and the website, and couldn't find it!

[@ntg0000]

GETTING CLOSER TO A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. YAYYYYY!

[@randomlywonderfull]

Everything is bigger here in Texas! The bigger the sheet cake the better! :)

[@xBrittyBOox]

Have you made German chocolate cake?? Would love to see that! :)

[@ernestchoongyianyin3655]

what should I substitute if I wanna make a green tea cake?

[@bleujeanzandcheese]

Funny you should post this - I was looking for an easy sheet/bar cake recipe over the weekend to no avail :P **Cue "Ode to Joy" in the background**

[@jadebowen9042]

A trick for using honey is to spray whatever spoon or cup you are using with Pam spray or any type of vegetable oil spray to prevent it form sticking too much 😊

[@reevanraja5630]

Substitute for buttermilk 1. Place a Tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice in a liquid measuring cup. 2. Add enough milk to bring the liquid up to the one-cup line. 3. Let stand for five minute. Then, use as much as your recipe calls for.

[@shaylashigs]

PLEASE UPLOAD A BLOOPERS VIDEO SOON!!!! I LOVE THEM

[@bearscookies9645]

The recipe of happiness.

[@marybusta9657]

I was excited to see this. I make this cake every holiday to share. Otherwise I'd eat all my self.

[@danielrumbolt]

So many Ben and Mike videos lately.... I ship it.

[@Bee-ol1xr]

Barry and Jamie were in LA doing collab videos, then Mike and Ben went to Hong Kong...Barry and Jamie 'created' the #Bike ship, you're not alone ;)

[@hulagirl314159]

Is there something that you can substitute the nuts for?

[@prriyankasinghvi]

Is there a substitute for eggs?

[@SortedFood]

Prriyanka Singhvi There are a few substitutes for eggs in baking (like bananas) but it can be tough to substitute directly in a recipe. Usually it's best to find a recipe tried and tested with the substitute (or experiment with it yourself!) :)

[@nikki1997lool]

+Prriyanka Singhvi Sorry I know this is extremely late but my mother has a vegan and vegetarian shop and I was testing out some vegan cake recipes and a lot of them use flax seed eggs which is basically something called Egg Replacer. You can find it in supermarkets in the health food aisle or the Free-from aisle. It can be quite expensive for a box but the box that I have has 100 eggs worth, I did the math and it works out cheaper in the long run! Again sorry for this being 2 months after your comment but I hope it helps!

[@Helvetica09]

+Nicole Yu (auberginedreams) or 2-3 tablespoons of apple sauce per egg does it aswell :) (or some kind of jams!)

[@nikki1997lool]

Oh, definitely! Apple sauce is great but in the UK, apple sauce isn't very common. It's a thing but it's not used for much, well from where I'm from in the UK anyways!

[@uhhyousee]

i tried using apple sauce...but i did not have apple..so i used pear(puree)...and it worked...

[@anitakarlawirawan]

What's the size of the baking tray?

[@kreatiefgruendig4517]

Me and my best friend Hannah have baked some cupcakes and other stuff. It was like I was Ben and she was Jamie, Mike and Barry in one person. Really funny! :D Nice recipe, I should try it...

[@vivien2464]
