Sheet cakes are one of my favorite to bake because they’re easy and they’ll serve a crowd. Who wouldn’t get excited at the sight of a big pan of cake, cut into big squares, begging to be enjoyed?!
This chocolate chocolate chip sheet cake is all in the name and more! And by more, I mean amazing, irresistible, crave-able deliciousness. Pure chocolate goodness in every delectable bite…
Incredibly moist chocolate chocolate chip cake with a rich and creamy chocolate frosting and more mini chocolate chips on top. I’m telling you, cake dreams do come true!
The crowd goes crazy over this cake every time I bake it for a party or get-together. It gets such rave reviews that it’s become one of those cakes I can’t show up to the party without.

- 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 (3.9 ounce) package chocolate instant pudding mix
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3-4 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips, for garnishing
- Preheat over to 350°F. Spray a 12x17-inch rimmed baking pan generously with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, pudding mix, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the sugar, oil, milk, egg and vanilla.
- With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour mixture and the water, ending with the flour mixture, until well combined and batter is smooth. Fold in 1 cup mini chocolate chips.
- Spread batter evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cake cool completely.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 cup chocolate chips until just melted, about 1 minute, stirring after 30 seconds. Set aside to slightly cool.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the butter until smooth. Beat in the vanilla. In a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and cocoa powder. With the mixer on low speed, beat the powdered sugar mixture into the butter, one cup at a time, until frosting is thick and chunky. Add the melted chocolate and beat until just combined. Add one tablespoon of milk at a time, beating on medium-high speed, until frosting is of spreading consistency. Add additional milk if the frosting is too thick or additional powdered sugar if the frosting is too thin.
- Frost the cooled cake and sprinkle with 1 cup mini chocolate chips.

June 30, 2018 at 1:51 pmHi Maegan! Have you had any luck baking this in a 9X13? would you know nay of the adjustments for that size pan? Thank you!

July 2, 2018 at 4:36 pmHi Rebecca! I haven’t, but I think it might work. You’ll just need to make sure the batter doesn’t come over 3/4 of the way up the baking dish. And you’ll probably need to bake it closer to 30-35 minutes. Just be sure to check it with a toothpick to make sure it’s baked all the way through. Hope this helps and hope it turns out just as great! Enjoy!
