Texas Turtle Sheet Cake

Texas Turtle Sheet Cake

Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups of white sugar
  2. 2 cups of flour that already has baking powder and salt mixed in.
  3. 1 cup of butter
  4. 1 cup of dark coffee
  5. 1/3 cup of cocoa powder without sugar
  6. 2 huevos
  7. 1/2 cup of buttermilk
  8. Chocolate icing:
  9. 1/4 cup of butter
  10. 4 tablespoons of buttermilk
  11. 3 tablespoons of cocoa without sugar
  12. 2 and a half cups of powdered sugar
  13. Turtle topping:
  14. 1/2 cup of chopped pecans
  15. 1 cup of chocolate chips that are not too sweet
  16. 1 cup of caramel sauce, for pouring on top.

METHOD:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9 x 13-inch baking pan with flour and grease. Combine the sugar and self-rising flour in a large bowl. Set aside.
  2. Combine 1/3 cup cocoa, 1 cup coffee, and 1 cup butter in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. After preparing the dry ingredients, pour the mixture into them. The wet and dry components should be well combined using a hand mixer set to medium speed. Add half a cup of buttermilk and eggs. For about one more minute, mix on medium speed until well combined.
  3. Fill the baking pan with the mixture and bake it for twenty-five to thirty minutes. By sticking a toothpick or fork into the center of the cake, you can determine when it is done baking. The cake is done if it comes out clean.
  4. Prepare the frosting. Combine 3 teaspoons of unsweetened cocoa powder, 4 tablespoons of buttermilk, and 1/4 cup of butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
  5. Remove the mixture from the heat and use a wire whisk to gradually add half a cup of powdered sugar at a time.
  6. Cover the cake with the heated frosting. Place chocolate chips and chopped pecans on top of the heated cake. Cover with caramel sauce.

Advice: It’s okay if you don’t have buttermilk. Add two tablespoons of vinegar or lemon juice to half a cup of milk. Before combining it with the other ingredients, wait a few minutes.
