This Granko cocoa sheet cake with cream and chocolate is a simple cake that chocolate lovers and children will especially enjoy. The batter is made with eggs, sugar, flour, oil, and Granko, an instant cocoa drink mix, measured by the cup, and baked for 25 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F). While still warm, the cake is soaked with sweetened coffee and spread with raspberry jam. Once cooled, it is topped with a ganache made from heavy whipping cream and melted chocolate. It tastes best made a day ahead and served chilled from the refrigerator.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Beat the eggs, then stir in the sugar, flour, baking powder, Granko, and oil. Mix the batter thoroughly, pour it into a greased and floured sheet pan, and bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for 25 minutes. While the cake is still warm, pour warm sweetened coffee over it, let it soak in, and spread with jam, such as raspberry.
For the ganache, melt the chocolate in the heavy whipping cream and bring the mixture to a brief boil. Spread the ganache over the cooled cake and let it rest in a cool place. Tip: Bake the cake a day ahead and serve it chilled from the refrigerator for the best flavor.
Tip: For children, replace the coffee with warm milk mixed with a tablespoon of Granko. Spoon it evenly over the entire surface, all the way to the edges, so no part of the cake stays dry.
