Sheet cakes remind me of those back-to-school days of summer when I was in elementary school, which seemed to creep closer and closer to the beginning of August each year I got older, shortening my summer break. The beginning of the school year, however, meant birthdays and birthdays meant cake — whether it came from the Kroger deli or someone’s mother made it. The cakes of my childhood were always piled high with frosting. I only ate the the frosting if it was dotted with sprinkles — or jimmies, as we called them — otherwise I scraped it off. The chocolate jimmies were the best. This week’s recipe comes from baker Jessie Sheehan’s second book, The Vintage Baker. It’s for Devil’s Food Sheet Cake with Sea Foam Frosting, and I consider it the adult version of those childhood cakes I remember. It’s also the quintessential cake to ring in the new school year if you have kids — make it and become the baker whose cake everyone looks forward to! —Kristina
