Sheet Cake Hack | 6 Flavors Cake using One Batter in 1 Sheet Tray | Perfect Dessert Board Recipe

This is the best Sheet Cake Hack ever and you can use One batter to make so many variations, making it the Ultimate Plain Cake Hack. Now everyone can have a piece of their favourite cake with just one batter in 1 sheet tray. No extra work, no extra mess. This started as a solution for my kids who are poles apart. One wants plain vanilla and the other needs all the chocolate he can get. So while baking one day I had this idea & tried which to my surprise worked extremely well. With this, you can make multiple flavours easily. And my favourite part is the pieces which are a mix of 2-3 flavours, all in a single piece.
This is also particularly a perfect dessert board recipe for parties and holidays. Make all the flavours you want and cut them into small pieces, served on a beautiful dessert board. It can also be made ahead of time so a great holiday bake. Just store it in an airtight container for a couple days at room temp and a week in the fridge.
