Eggless chocolate sheet cake, a flat cake baked on a sheet pan, frosted wtih chocolate cream and caramel drizzle. A perfect bake for BBQ parties and potlucks.

Sheet cake, a cake baked in a large rectangular tray and frosted to look very pretty! My original plan was to try a yule log. After i baked the cake, i found the cake too stiff to roll into a log. This is the second time i m trying to make a log and the log is turning into sheet cake. It is now Game on, Me Vs Yule log. I m not going to stop until i get to make a proper yule log, even if my family has to taste 100’s of sheet cakes 😏

So, here i m presenting my second attempt on my yule log, an egg-less condensed milk cake covered with finger licking chocolate cream frosting. I baked this yesterday and added a thin layer of white cream frosting, but kids wanted chocolate on top and i didn’t want to do ganache. So today morning i made a chocolate cream and slathered all over the sheet cake.

In the mean time, the chocoalte cake started losing its lower-half. The two lil monsters at home, used their fingers to dig out small squares from the sheet. Today Morning when i saw the pan, it was like some squirrel has nibbled my cake. I knew i couldn’t wait for long, so quickly tried to click few decent shots.

The moment they knew, i m done with the photos, they cleared half the tray. The cake has a perfect texture and the cream adds more to it. Sheet cakes are such a breeze, when you dont want to do any fancy decorations on your cake. Slap on that frosting, and try adding some more accessories like crumbled oreo, chocolate syrup, M&M’s , the options are endless. A perfect bake for parties and get-together.

Some easy cake recipes

The Ingredients

Whole wheat flour, for personal reasons i bake only with whole wheat flour. You can use All purpose flour instead of whole wheat flour.
Condensed Milk, sweetened condensed milk is also a replacement for eggs, since it is sweet we also skip the sugar in this recipe. Here is a chocolate cake without condensed milk
Fat, i have used oil instead of butter, i have not tried using butter in the recipe yet, will update the recipe when i try it.
Baking powder and baking soda along with vanilla are the other ingredients most common to baking.
Make sure all the above ingredients are at room temperature.

Let us Bake the Cake

Preheat the oven 180C. Prepare a sheet pan withbaking paper
In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda.
In another bowl, add condensed milk, oil and vanilla extract, use a electric whisk and whisk them smooth.
To this liquid add the flour in 3 batches, use a spatula to mix the flour into the wet ingredients. When you add the second batch, the batter would be very thick, add ½ cup warm water and mix.
Likewise when you add the final batch of flour, add another ½ cup of water and mix. Do not mix vigorously, mix in single direction.
Pour the batter in the preared sheet pan. Spread using the spatula. Smooth the top, tap twice to release any air.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Remove from the oven, let it sit in the pan for 5 minutes. Then flip it on a wire rack and let it cool completely

Chocolate Cream Frosting

Take together whipping cream and cream cheese ina wide bowl, using a electric whisk, whisk until you see soft peaks.
Add cocoa powder and icing sugar and continue whipping until you get stiff peaks. Cover and refrigerate until use.

Frosting the Cake

Once the cake cools down, return it to the sheet pan, level the cake by trimming the top, this is totally optional.
Drizzle simple syrup all over the cake. Spread the chocolate whipping cream generously, smooth-en it.

Caramel Sauce

Take the caramel toffee along with milk/cream in a microwave safe mug, microwave for a minute, remove and whisk it together into a smooth sryup, if the caramel is still lumpy, microwave again for 30 seconds and whisk it smooth. Make the syrup towards the end, as it thickens while resting.
Add the caramel drizzle over the cake. Cut and Serve

Notes

If you like coffee flavor in your chocolate cake, then add 2 tablespoon instant coffee to the warm water and use it instead of plain water.
Caramel drizzle and chocolate frosting is purely optional, you can serve the cake as such.
Best Dessert for BBQ parties/Potluck/huge gatherings.
