Chocolate Sheet Cake

This wonderfully moist chocolate sheet cake is the kind of no-fuss dessert that delivers maximum impact with minimal effort. The secret lies in the hot water addition, which blooms the cocoa powder and creates an incredibly tender crumb, whilst the warm chocolate syrup soaks into every pore of the cake, creating layers of rich chocolate flavour throughout.

What makes this cake particularly brilliant is its simplicity and reliability – everything goes into one bowl, and the results are consistently perfect. The syrup technique transforms an already good cake into something extraordinary, creating an almost brownie-like richness that’s absolutely irresistible. It’s the perfect cake for feeding a crowd or when you need a guaranteed crowd-pleaser that cuts into neat, beautiful squares.
