THE ABSOLUTE BEST DARK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP TEXAS SHEET CAKE

The Absolute Best Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip Texas Sheet Cake image

I have my share of sheet cakes over the years, this one is truly the best I have had--- the frosting recipe to go with this cake is recipe #89207 you may of coarse use your own favorite recipe. If you cannot make brewed coffee just use 1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 cup boiling water. This makes a huge moist rich deep chocolate cake which makes it great for a potluck or a children's birthday party :)
