Texas Sheet Cake is thin, super moist chocolate cake, topped with warm chocolate frosting and pecans. If you prefer your chocolate cake not to be dry, this one is perfect for you – moist with chocolate fudge frosting. Sounds delicious, doesn’t it?  It really is.

Texas Sheet Cake is perfect for big family gatherings and parties- there‘ll be enough for everybody. You‘ll get 24  pieces of pure chocolate perfection.  It is made in 13 x 18 inch sheet pan.

You can use two 9 x 13 inch baking pan as well, or even one 19 x 13 inch baking pan. If prepared in 19 x 13 inch baking pan, the cake will be thicker and baked 10 minutes longer. You can use 10 x 15 jelly roll pan, too, but bake it for 22 minutes in that case. For me, the best is 13 x 18 pan.

    This recipe is close to mine but I use buttermilk and also some cinnamon. I like the idea of yogurt instead of buttermilk.
