How To Make A Chocolate Sheet Cake Recipe | Sorted Food 

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.

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

Mike handling all that chocolate was seriously attractive.

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

Love the sound of that batter! Great video lads :)

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 :)

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!

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!

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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 😊

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

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

Gotta try this one with my Girls!

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

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! :(

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

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

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

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.

Congratulations on a million guys!!!

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!

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 :)

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

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

That Cake looks incredible! Great Recipe guys!

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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

GETTING CLOSER TO A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. YAYYYYY!

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.

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

moist moist moist moist moist moist moisssssssssssst

_Moist._

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

YOU GUYS ARE SO CLOSE TO ONE MILLION SUBSCRIBERS :DDD

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

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

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 ^-^

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

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

Omg that cake looks gorgeous!

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

Congrats on one million subs!

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.

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?

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.

The recipe of happiness.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

I made this yesterday, and it was so delicious!

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

You guys are sooo close to a million subs

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 :)

That gordon Ramsay reference at the intro😂😂

Made this today was superb!!!

So close to one million subscribers!

Congratulations guys u finally have one million subscribers :)

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

My grandma puts sour cream and buttermilk in her texas sheet cake! ~Texan

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**

"frank why-ero" im sobbing

Definitely going to be trying this, and those NUTS mate!!

Gonna try it tomorrow!

THAT looks like an excellent cake to take to a party.

It looks so good! 😊

Loving this recipe guys. Shall try it on my guinea pig later...aka my brother.

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...

Mike is a beautiful man. Who cares about chocolate when Mike can satisfy any sweet tooth

200 more subs to a million. GET IN!!

I spy with my little eye, something beginning with... S O T A! (Sorted On The Apprentice!) Congrats guys. And congrats on v. v. almost hitting one million subscribers :) You deserve it!!!

Looks delicious!!

Made that today, it was yummiest 🤤

Oh man! I don't think I have any of these ingredients at home but i really really want to eat this

omg i could so go for some chocolate cake rn. and a burrito.

You guys should definitely start a TV show! :D

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.

You were on the apprentice I went crazy x !!

Salut Boys !!! That look great ...and a good start up recipe for a novice #baker ... can t bare the "M" word ever ...equivalent in #French is #moelleux another "M" word ... Bisous E xx PS: great work with your nuts Mike ;o)

Second attempt at the cake since the first time, my ganache didn't turn out. Freaking FINALLY got it right this time!
