sheet cake

Rectangular bakery item

A sheet cake is a flat, rectangular cake baked in a shallow pan, typically frosted on top only.

Sheet cakes are practical for serving large groups—at office parties, school events, or potlucks—since they're easy to cut into uniform portions: We ordered a sheet cake for the retirement party.

They range from quarter-sheet to full-sheet sizes.
