Buttermilk Chocolate Sheet Cake

 

This Cake feeds a crowd. It is so easy to make and tastes so good. Every year I would make this for one function or another. Sometimes I would make it and just put it in the kitchen at work. I would go out in the field and at the end of the day, the pan would be empty. Yes it is in a sheet pan and no it is not dry. It is however very rich and chocolatey if you are into that sort of thing. With this cake all you need is a glass of milk and your lips.
