Hi Guys! Thank you all so much for your much needed feedback about my nerdy fogging sitch, your responses were all so helpful and very appreciated!! Anyway, lets get right into this tasty spicy chocolate sheet cake. I love chocolate cake. The end.

Just kidding…although I do love me some chocolate cake. It’s something I find that I don’t eat often at all…maybe once or twice a year if a birthday rolls around, but if I’m in a situation where chocolate cake is involved I will almost never say no. Today’s chocolate cake is just a little bit special. From the outside it might appear to be a basic chocolate cake, but once you dig into it you taste the layers of smooth chocolate, with deep earth notes from the stout and with hints of spices from the Mexican chocolate and cinnamon. It’s nice because if you can’t handle a lot of “spicy” you’ll still be able to handle these…it just adds an extra “something” to the cake. Why a sheet cake?…because sometimes all a girl has time for is a sheet cake. 🙂 The peanut butter frosting might push this over the edge just a little bit, but it’s holiday season so I’m assuming it’s totally okay. Maybe this could be that fun and unique dessert you’re looking for to dress your thanksgiving table?! Enjoy! xx, Jenny
