1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 cups heavy whipping cream

Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 15x10x1-inch pan with baking spray with flour.

Chill cake 1 hour. Sprinkle with cocoa just before serving.

Expert Tips

Baking spray with flour helps keep the cake from sticking to the pan; as a substitute, spray the pan with cooking spray, then lightly sprinkle with flour.
