Texas Sheet Cake!!!

[BelovedHeather]

I am sharing this by request. :7 Southern baking at its best! :9 This is so unclean and oh so yummy. :9 This is from Beth Moore’s blog, so it is sanctified too! ;-)

Grease a jellyroll pan and sift:

2 c. all-purpose flour
2 c. sugar

Bring to a boil:

2 sticks butter
1 c. water
4 Tbsp. cocoa

Pour over dry mixture and mix in:

2 eggs
½ c. buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla

Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

Heat:

1 stick butter
4 Tbsp. cocoa
6 Tbsp. milk

Add close to a box of powdered sugar to achieve desired consistency and 1 c. pecans and spread on cake while it is hot.

If your name is Michele, do 3 hours of Cathe cardio today! :7 Enjoy! :9 This tastes even better the second day and is especially good after Rhythmic Step. ;-) Yummy! :9

Blessings,
Heather B.

This brings back delicious memories. My great aunt used to make this, but with mini marshmellows on top instead of pecans.

Heather - I think you'd be better off with the Hershey's Cacao Reserve bar! :7

ROTFLOL!!! Well I didn't do 3 hours of Cathe cardio, but I did about an hour of Cardio Coach on my elliptical and I hope that will hold me in good stead. I also plan to start Cathe's latest rotation. Did you see it? The GS workouts are prominently featured . I'll tell you what -- I'll do the GS workouts for you if you do RS for me. Deal?

Thank you so much for the recipe. Collecting recipes is a hobby of mine and I will treasure this one. I've named it "Heather's Texas Sheet Cake - The REAL Deal", in my recipe file. I will bake it with tender loving care this summer when my dear nephews come for a visit. Thanks again :* :* :*

Texas sheet cake was a staple in our house when I was a kid in the 70's. My mom made one every single Saturday, it was a big cake to feed all 8 people in the family. Great blast from the past! :9

Wow.... I can feel my arteries hardening just reading that! Sounds delish though

Ok - that's good. I also used to like it a lot - and then, about a year ago, I tried THIS version:

Maybe it's blasphemy because it's not chocolate - but I'm not a big fan of chocolate anyway. This cake - amazing.

I'll be walking the Komen 3-day (60 miles) the week after Cathe's RT. Here's my webpage.
