Yellow Zucchini Sheet Cake with Chocolate Icing PLUS a Vanilla Bean Paste Giveaway - Sheet cakes are one of my favorite things to make. Not only are they SO easy to make, but they come together super fast from start to finish and they feed a bunch of people. Yellow Cake with Chocolate Frosting is such a classic flavor. It was about time I made a zucchini version.
You will have no idea there is zucchini hidden inside this moist yellow cake. I even fed it to three picky kids that asked for seconds and thirds and had no idea what was really inside. It took me a few tries to get it just right. The cake is so soft with a sweet amazing vanilla flavor and it's topped with a rich and chocolaty icing. It really is phenomenal and it tastes great for several days.
Let me just say . . . Good vanilla really does make all the difference. I have tried many different brands of vanilla bean paste and Blue Cattle Truck Trading Co.'s Mexican Vanilla Bean Paste is THE BEST that I have tried. I'm serious, not only does it come in a big jar, but it has the best flavor. Ever since I first tried it, it's the only brand that I use. They also have the best Mexican Vanilla Extract. Mexican Vanilla makes everything better :)
I have some great news . . . I have a jar of Mexican Vanilla Bean Paste to give away to one lucky reader. Enter using the rafflecopter below the next image.
