Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15-inch rimmed baking sheet and line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Beat brown sugar, white sugar, and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Add in 1/3 of the flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Add in 1/2 of the coffee and buttermilk, and mix until just combined. Continue alternating additions of the flour mixture with coffee and buttermilk, mixing just until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan; smooth into an even layer. Tap pan firmly on the counter several times to remove air bubbles.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs, about 25 minutes. Do not overbake. Place cake on a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the frosting. Beat butter in a large bowl until completely smooth. Mix in cocoa powder, espresso powder, and salt until thoroughly combined. Mix in vanilla. Add in powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition. Pour in heavy cream and beat until frosting is light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. If frosting is too thick, add more heavy cream.
- Spread frosting over the cooled cake.

THE ABSOLUTE BEST DARK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP TEXAS SHEET CAKE
I have my share of sheet cakes over the years, this one is truly the best I have had--- the frosting recipe to go with this cake is recipe #89207 you may of coarse use your own favorite recipe. If you cannot make brewed coffee just use 1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee granules dissolved in 1 cup boiling water. This makes a huge moist rich deep chocolate cake which makes it great for a potluck or a children's birthday party :)

YELLOW SHEET CAKE WITH DARK CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM
Here's a neat trick to ensure that your sheet cake bakes evenly--stud it with metal icing flower nails, which will conduct heat right to the center.

Steps:
- For the yellow cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9-inch-by-13-inch (quarter-sheet) pan with parchment paper, then spray with nonstick baking spray.
- Place 2 metal flower nails in the center of the pan, flat-side down, a few inches apart. Beat the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium-high speed to incorporate air into mixture, about 2 minutes. Mix in the eggs on low speed, two at a time. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed with a rubber spatula.
- Whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add a third of the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix on low speed. Mix in half of the buttermilk on low speed. Repeat this process, finishing with the last third of the dry ingredients. Mix in the vanilla extract and oil, then pour the batter into the prepared pan. Reposition the flower nails so that they're evenly spaced in the pan. Tap the pan on the counter to remove any air bubbles, then bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, 25 to 26 minutes.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully flip it onto a cooling rack to finish cooling.
- For the dark chocolate buttercream: Beat the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Turn the mixer to low speed and add the cocoa, then mix until the cocoa is fully incorporated and no clumps remain. Slowly add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternating with small splashes of cream. Mix in the melted dark chocolate, then the salt. Beat until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached. If the frosting is too thick, add an extra tablespoon of heavy cream. If it's too thin, add another 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Stir by hand with a rubber spatula for a couple minutes to make the frosting super smooth.
- Remove the flower nails from the cake. Spread an even layer of chocolate buttercream on top of the cake, making swirls with an offset spatula. Top with rainbow sprinkles.
