Texas Sheet Cake
This Texas Sheet Cake is a classic! I actually tried it for the first time at a church gathering and loved it. I actually am not a big fan of cake. On my birthdays even growing up I would request ice cream or a cheese cake. This Texas Sheet Cake though was so good I was surprised at how much I loved it. It’s very thin and very rich so it’s different from a normal cake which is why I think I loved it so much.
Of course if I loved a cake as much as I did I would have to ask for the recipe! And of course with permission I would have to share it with you! I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!

After that you want to add that to your flour mix until well combined. Next add in your melted butter from the sauce pan to your flour and mix again until well combined.
Step five: Pour this batter into your prepared sheet cake pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes your until your cake is cooked through.
Frosting Instructions:
Making the frosting for this cake is pretty simple. Like with the cake you want to melt butter, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Bring to a boil then remove from heat. Then just add in powdered sugar and mix until well combined. Add your frosting to the cake right away then allow it to cook for 10-15 minutes before serving.
