Texas Sheet CakePre-heat oven to 350*
Put in sauce pan:
1 cup water
2 sticks butter
5-6 Tablespoons powder cocoa
Stir and bring to a boil. Don't scorch.
Remove and set aside.
Mix together:
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
Now add the boiled mixture to these ingredients and beat well.
Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda to 1/2 cup milk and stir then add to all of the above.
Bake in greased jelly roll pan for 12-17 mins depending on your oven. Use the toothpick test for done-Ness.
While cake is baking make the frosting.
In same sauce pan from above put:
1 stick of butter
6 Tablespoons powdered cocoa
6 Tablespoons milk
Once melted and almost boiling add in a box of powder sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla mix well and pour over hot cake as soon as it comes out of oven. Eat hot, cooled or frozen. I served it with vanilla ice cream.
I made this Sunday night for dinner with the children. This is the first time I've ever made Texas Sheet Cake. I found it fast and easy to make. It was rich and wonderful.
Mrs. Ella Rae Keeney shared the recipe with me.
This isn't near as exciting as the Big Catch" that is on Amanda's blog and Courtney's blog today! Check it out!

I don't want to ever hear you say that texas sheet cake is not exciting. It's the reason I have such a fabulous getto-bootie.
The recipe I use has sour cream in it. My wife likes me to make it without the icing.
Hi Gigi - I'm an occasional visitor to your blog. I've never heard of a recipe where I get to boil water, butter and cocoa. I'm going to have to try this out. Can I ask - jelly roll pans are very shallow, if I fill the pan is there a danger the cake will overflow rather than rise? What size pan do you use? Thanks in advance for the answer.
