sometime after thanksgiving, but before christmas i baked this little gem:
you know, ree drummond’s the pioneer woman‘s chocolate cake. not just any cake, but the best chocolate sheet cake. ever.
sorry about my fancy, schmancy cookbook set up…this was before i gifted myself with a cookbook stand. but, a sugar pourer & a magnetic clip did the trick, right?
it was good…and easy to make. while i still prefer black magic cake as my ‘go to‘ chocolate cake recipe {it’s darker & more mysterious…it also has coffee in it}, i thoroughly enjoyed the pioneer woman’s cake. it was moist. it was chocolate-y. it had nuts in the frosting for God’s sake {although you could omit them if you didn’t like nuts}!
you can find the recipe by clicking here.
i had all of the recipe ingredients in my fridge & pantry. i even made my own buttermilk so i wouldn’t have to go to the grocery store & schelp out a few dollars for something that i would only use to bake one cake. pretty cool, huh?
i definitely recommend that you try this cake. if you’re already a fan of the pioneer woman & her cooking {as i am!} then you won’t be disappointed with this cake. promise.
My mother made me this absolutely wonderful chocolate cake with chocolate pecan icing every year for my bday for as long as I can remember. Well, I have CRAVED that cake for the last 12 years since she's been gone, but have been unable to find her recipe. SO, I searched and searched online back in November for THE cake and I came across Pioneer Woman's recipe. It sounded similar to my mom's so I gave it a go. OMG…it was SOOOO awesome! Tasted just like my Mom's cake!!!! And yes, very easy!!!!
OMG, this looks SO delicious. Seriously, wow.
Now I'm hungry.
Oh man! I can't believe I own this book, and I haven't made this yet!
LOVE the recipe! I've never heard of the Pioneer Woman, but I love her website. Way to go, girl!!
PS – hope to see you again soon!

I got the cookbook for Christmas and i'm so excited! I've made that cake and it is yummy! And easy, that's my favorite part!
YUM! This is one recipe I've had on my “to try” list! I need to get on that
Mmmmmm, now I would love to bake a cake!
YUM. Just what I definitely did not need to see since I'm trying to eat healthy, ha!
It looks so good…I'll definitely bake it for the husband and his work and save myself one piece.
Thanks for sharing–and your cake? Look gorgeous!
