I am making a chocolate sheet cake 10 x 15 x 2 and would like to use Dorie's Chocolate Whipped Cream frosting. Is her recipe which calls for 2 C whipped cream and 3 oz chocolate enough to cover this cake?

I would double it if you wanted to be a little lavish with the cream and have plenty rather than stressing over whether or not you'll have enough.

Or one and a half times would be easy enough too. I'm pretty sure whipping cream doubles so with 3 cup of cream and 4-1/2 oz chocolate you should have plenty.

That, I think is perfect. I made it as Dorie stated in her book, and after frosting the cake, I was able to estimate, for next time, 3C cream and 4.5 oz chocolate.

Thanks
