Best Montezumas Hot Chocolate Sheet Cake Recipes
MONTEZUMA'S HOT CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE
This is a rich chocolate cake with just a hint of heat. This is totally my own recipe. I originally started with just a chocolate sheet cake recipe that I wanted to spice up a little for something different. Then I remembered that the Mayan's "hot" chocolate was actually drunk cold and had been mixed with spices. It was Montezuma (1466-1520) who introduced Hernam Cortes to his favorite drink 'chocolatl' served in a golden goblet. And it was the fact that Montezuma consumed his "chocolatl" before entering his harem that led to the belief it was an aphrodisiac. :D The very first chocolate drink recipe ever published was in 1631 and called for chillies, almonds, hazlenuts, vanilla beans, cinnamon and anise among other things. I combined the two recipes and played around until I got the flavor I like. Note: This does call for almonds and hazelnuts. Posted for Zaar World Tour 05

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter.
- Stir in the cocoa and coffee, then water.
- Bring to a boil; remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and spices.
- Add cocoa mixture; mix well.
- Stir in 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk, eggs, anise and vanilla.
- Pour into greased 15 x 10 jelly roll pan.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched.
- Icing:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter; stir in the cocoa, coffee, and cinnamon.
- Add the remaining sweetened condensed milk; stir in confectioners sugar.
- Spread on the warm cake.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
- Note: If the icing is too thin for your taste, it's simple to add more cocoa or confectioners sugar until you reach the consistency wanted. Or, if it's too thick just add a bit of milk. Also, if you decide to do away with the coffee (in the cake or the icing), just replace it with cocoa. :D.

CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE
This is our favorite chocolate cake. It is rich and moist. Note: If you don't have the buttermilk on hand, put about 1 teaspoon of vinegar into 1/2 cup milk and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. ***Note: if you don't have the Butter Flavor Crisco, just increase the 1/2 cup butter to 1 cup of butter and omit the Crisco. I've made it both ways and it is great either way.

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE
This is by far the best chocolate cake ever. This has to be the EASIEST SCRATCH cake recipe I have ever made. And, it is so moist and chocolately. My mom makes this cake all the time for almost every occassion (by request usually). Try it, you'll love it. Way better than a box cake. Makes 1 sheet cake or one 10" x 2" round cake or 24 cupcakes using 1/3 cup batter per cupcake tin. Batter makes 6 cups

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Prepare cake pans with Crisco and lightly dust with flour. I prefer the Wilton Quick Release product instead of the traditional Crisco/Flour prep.
- I prefer to make my own sour milk. I think the vinegar does something to the recipe and makes it more moist or something. To do so, in a glass measuring cup, add 2 tbs of distilled vinegar then add your milk (I used skim milk) and measure to 2 cups. Whisk, and let stand for 20 minutes. I whisk again before adding it to my mixing bowl.
- Put all ingredients into a mixing bowl. With the PADDLE attachment, mix together for 2 minutes. Scrape down the side and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are mixed well.
- FOR SHEET CAKES: Pour into your pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs on it, or use the Wilton's baking guide.
- FOR ROUND CAKES: Pour into your prepared pan, bake for 35-40 minutes or use the Wilton's baking guide, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with moist crumbs on it (not gooey uncooked batter).
- FOR CUPCAKES: Pour into tins, bake for approximately 18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out with moist crumbs on it (not gooey uncooked batter).
- For a deeper, richer chocolate taste, reduce the buttermilk by 1/4 cup and replace it with a 1/4 cup of brewed coffee. I personally think with 1 cup of cocoa, the recipe already has a rich chocolate taste.
- I like to experiment with the extracts. If making a filling such as raspberry, replace the vanilla with raspberry extract. Experiment with different flavors and combinations for a different taste. Chocolate cake with a hint of orange flavoring is to die for.
