- 1 tsp Baking Soda.
- ½ tsp Salt. --Omit with salted butter
- 1 cup Water.
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter. --Cubed
- 4 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- 2 cups Flour
- ½ cup Sour Cream.
- 2 Eggs.
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Frosting.
- 6 tbsp Milk. -Room temperature.
- 3 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
- ½ cup Butter.
- 3½ cups Powdered Sugar Alternative.
- ½ cup Pecans. --Chopped into small pieces
Instructions
- Prepare. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray or Grease a rimmed baking sheet. You can optionally use parchment paper.
- Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine together the sugar alternative, flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Chocolate. In a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, use a whisk to combine together the water, butter, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Whisk the ingredients occasionally at first, then more consistently as the butter melts. Heat the mixture just until melted, lump-free and smooth, and lightly simmering. Then remove it from heat and carefully pour the mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl and stir until combined.
- Wet Ingredients. In a small bowl, use a whisk to combine together the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract. Gently stir this mixture into the ingredients in the mixing bowl.
- Bake. Transfer the ingredients from the mixing bowl to your prepared baking sheet. Bake 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Note that because sugar free cakes can brown a bit differently from regular cakes, you should start checking on your cake at around 18 minutes.
- Heat. To make the frosting, in a clean saucepan over medium heat, combine together the milk, cocoa powder, and butter, whisking until the butter has melted and the mixture is smooth and lump-free.
- Combine. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the sugar free powdered sugar until smooth. Then stir in the chopped pecans.
- Frost. To frost your sheet cake, simply and carefully pour the frosting over the warm cake, using the backside of a spoon or rubber spatula to help spread the frosting out if needed. Allow the frosting to set before slicing and serving.
