I don’t think I have ever made this cake and come home with left overs. Which, while is a huge compliment to the cake itself, it’s kind of depressing for one who might like a little leftover cake :) On several occasions guests will just “take a small piece,” cause ya know, they are “not a cake person” and end up eating two or three fairly large slices.
Unlike most chocolate cake recipes this one calls for you to use your stove-top! Both for the batter and the icing. Don’t worry, it really isn’t complicating things, or making it take any longer than any other cake from scratch. In fact, every time I make this cake I’m surprised at how fast and easy it all goes.
I also love that this cake bakes in 20 minutes! aaaand you ice it while its HOT! You don’t need hours and hours, and no cooling time required. It’s the perfect dessert to make when you are in a pinch on time.
The Icing
One of my favorite parts of this scotch chocolate cake is the icing. The icing on this cake is unique! I love that this cake isn’t weighed down by thick heavy buttercream. You cook it on the stove-top- mixing in the powder sugar with melted butter . Heat it up and pour it over. It creates a beautiful even sheen, and even a little tiny crackling.
I’m still completely obsessed with this enameled jelly roll pan! I’ve been testing it out on all sorts of recipes and it bakes awesome! As well as its beautiful AND cleans up like a dream. seriously, a wonderful dream.
I love the spices and how fluffy this scotch chocolate cake is. It’s not too rich and just right it every way. If you’re looking for some other amazing sheet cake recipes try Kadee’s Raspberry Sour Cream Sheet Cake. Or if you want the traditional Texas Sheet cake– we have that too!
