One Bowl Chocolate Sheet Cake with Coconut Swiss Meringue Buttercream


Since I have to make the same cake in different variations,  I thought I would try a different topping.  One of my favorite cupcakes is chocolate cake with coconut vanilla buttercream.  It turned out great as as a sheet cake.  Next time (In a few years) I'll try it with the cupcakes. 
Advice: Make sure to wait at least 30 minutes after taking it out of the refrigerator to eat, otherwise the frosting is too hard and tastes like a stick of butter. 
As good as the this cake turned out, I still threw away 1/4th of it. I gave some to everyone on my usual route; Kids, BF, BFF, BFF's BF, CG, Mom and dad.  It is quite tragic for me to dump any amount so I've decided to not make any more  large cakes or cupcakes unless I have an event to take it to (Hint , Hint). 
It baked for 40 min (Rotating at 25 min)

116 to Go!
