Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 cup (heaping) cocoa powder
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cubed
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 6 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• brown/chocolate sprinkles

Directions

• In a mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk together.
• In a saucepan, over medium-high heat melt butter. Add cocoa powder. Stir together.
• Add boiling water, and allow mixture to boil for 30 seconds, then turn off heat. Pour over flour mixture in the bowl and stir together lightly to cool.
• In a glass measuring cup (or small bowl) combine the buttermilk, beaten eggs, baking soda, and vanilla. Stir together with a fork. Pour into the chocolate/flour mixture and stir together until fully combined. Pour into your cookie sheet (13 x 18) and bake for 20 minutes.
• While the cake is baking make the icing (I waited until there was about 12 minutes bake time left). Add butter, cocoa powder, and milk to a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until butter has melted. Remove from heat and immediately stir in vanilla extract and powdered sugar.
• Pour over the warm chocolate cake as soon as it is done baking. Using a spatula, gently smooth the frosting out on top of the cake. Sprinkle with the brown chocolate sprinkles. Let sit and cool/harden for at least an hour or two before cutting it into squares.
