DENVER CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE

Steps:

• For cake: Place oven rack in middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-by-13-inch sheet pan. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda and salt in a large bowl, and whisk well.
• Combine butter, cocoa and 1 1/2 cups water in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; whisk frequently until butter has melted and mixture is smooth, glossy and bubbling around edges. Remove from heat.
• Fold cocoa mixture into dry ingredients until just combined. Stir in buttermilk, eggs and vanilla until combined. Turn batter into prepared pan and bake until cake has risen, shrunken slightly from edges, and tests clean with a toothpick, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven, and cool completely on a rack.
• For frosting: Combine butter, cocoa and buttermilk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; whisk frequently until butter has melted and mixture is smooth and bubbling around edges. Remove from heat and transfer to a standing mixer bowl fitted with a paddle attachment.
• With machine on low speed, add vanilla, salt, sugar and nuts, and mix until smooth. (Ingredients may also be whisked into cocoa mixture by hand; if so, sugar should be sifted first.) Pour warm frosting over top of cake, and smooth with a spatula. Allow frosting to become firm before slicing cake.

• In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding ingredients until the brown sugar and cocoa powder are dissolved. Pour carefully over the batter. (The pudding layer will be thin and runny.)
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch. (A toothpick inserted in the center of the cake won't be an accurate test for doneness.) Let the cake stand for 15 minutes before cutting. Serve the cake topped with the sauce, or pool the sauce on plates and top with the cake. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to seven days, or wrap tightly and freeze for up to two months.
