Jump to RecipeJump to VideoPrint RecipeI'm really excited to share this Classic 4 Egg Yellow Sheet Cake with Chocolate Frosting recipe with you today because it is a long-time family favorite recipe! It combines a moist, fluffy, thick yellow cake with the best and most decadent homemade chocolate frosting! It's the perfect sheet cake for a family or co-worker's birthday party or celebration!Jump to:A sheet cake pan can come in various sizes depending on the manufacturer. The 3 common sheet cake pan sizes are:Other sizes you might see are 7" x 11", 12" x 16", and 13" x 18". The height of sheet cake pans can range from 1" to 3".For this 4-egg yellow sheet cake recipe, I used a 9" x 13" x 2" Nordic Ware® sheet cake pan, which I love because it has a metal cover for the pan that can double as a small cookie sheet!To make this classic yellow sheet cake recipe, you will need the following ingredients.Below is a quick overview of how to make this 4 egg yellow sheet cake. You'll need a 13" x 9" x 2" sheet cake pan, flour-based baking spray, and (optionally) parchment paper (to use as a parchment paper sling to remove the cake for frosting). For the full printable cake recipe, visit the recipe card at the bottom of this page.STEP 1. Whisk the dry ingredients together. This includes all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. I also recommend sifting them!STEP 2. Beat the sugar and shortening. Mix using either a handheld mixer or stand mixer until light in color and fluffy in texture. It's best to do this in a separate mixing bowl.STEP 3. Add in the remaining wet ingredients. This includes vanilla extract and eggs. The milk you'll use in the next step.STEP 4. Alternate the dry ingredients with the milk. Repeat until both have just combined with the batter. Be careful not to over mix. Doing so can give you a dense, chewy cake.STEP 5. Bake the yellow sheet cake. Recommended baking times are 35-40 minutes at 350ºF. For reference, my oven took the full 40 minutes and my cake cooled completely in about an hour.STEP 6. Frost the cake. You can do this with the 4 egg yellow sheet cake still in the pan or you can remove it with either a parchment paper sling or invert it onto a wire cooling rack.For frosting this 4-egg yellow sheet cake recipe, I recommend using this chocolate frosting recipe, adapted from America's Test Kitchen and also used with my&nbsp;Chocolate Zucchini Cake with Chocolate Chips. It's rich, creamy, and easily spreadable using an offset spatula.You'll need a bar of dark chocolate, unsalted butter, confectioners sugar, salt, light corn syrup, and vanilla extract.STEP 1. Melt the chocolate. You can do this in the microwave in 3045 increments at 50% power, stirring until melted and smooth.STEP 2. Mix the butter and dry ingredients. This includes unsalted butter, powdered sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. It's best to do this on low speed so the dry ingredients don't fly everywhere.STEP 3. Add in the rest of the ingredients. This includes light corn syrup and vanilla extract.STEP 4. Frost your cooled 4 egg yellow sheet cake! Top with rainbow sprinkles or nonpareils, then enjoy!Here a few baking tools I recommend when you are baking a sheet cake recipe.What size cake pan is needed? You will need a 13" x 9" x 2" cake pan. Can I use unsalted butter instead of vegetable shortening? Yes. For this 4 egg yellow sheet cake recipe, you can use unsalted butter as a substitute. Please note the texture of your cake will change slightly and it may not rise as high. What makes yellow cake yellow? The eggs! And the more yellow the yolks are, the yellower your cake will be! Using some kinds of butter (as a substitute for vegetable shortening) can also lend a hand in giving yellow sheet cake its cheery yellow color!Author:from votesPrint RecipePin RecipeNutritonal information provided above is an estimate only and will vary based on specific ingredients used.« Chocolate Peppermint Swirled BrowniesTriple Chocolate Mocha Cheesecake »© All images &amp; content on BeyondtheButter.com are copyright protected.
