Texas Sheet Cake
Jan 31st, 2011 | By Sharee Anne | Category: Lead Article, Recipes
This is a delicious cake that my grandmother always seemed to have sitting on the dessert table at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I have found it to be a great cake to feed a crowd and very inexpensive to make.

I am over from Blessed with Grace and had to ck out your Texas cake…Since I am a Texas girl (if you can call a 73 yr. old a girl) and I LOVE CHOCOLATE CAKE.
)
My Texas recipe is just about the same, I think…let’s see, I do add cinnamon, buttermilk,..the rest is about the same. My icing is to be put on while the cake is still hot….OMGosh, now I am DYING for a piece.
This is the first I’ve known of your meme. I will surely be linking with you…I do a lot of cooking.
I am your newest follower…hope you will come over for a visit.
