Cream Cheese Sheet Cake with Chocolate Icing has a wonderfully dense and rich texture and a wonderfully sweet, fudge icing. This easy to make cake will disappear in a hurry.

I love making sheet cakes. They are so much easier to make than layer cakes but every bit as delicious.
This cake is great for company, a cookout, potluck, or picnic. The cream cheese in the batter plus the number of eggs creates a rich, dense cake. On top of the cake is a rich, fudge frosting that’s simple to make with just 4 ingredients. I like to add a few sprinkles on top to make the cake look festive.
