Yellow Sheet Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting from BETTYCROCKER.COM



Let’s start at the very beginning, with everyone’s desert-island dessert. Yellow sheet cake with chocolate frosting is the Alpha and Omega of cake, the beginning and the end. This tender from-scratch cake gets its yellow tint from sweet butter and golden egg yolks. And the scratch buttercream frosting is rich and cocoa-y thanks to—yep—cocoa. This cake is the real deal.
