When I need a dessert for a large group, I usually make the super good ”Brownies for a Crowd” but last week I tried this Texas Sheet Cake for a party and it was perfect! Perfectly quick, easy and oh so D E L I C I O U S!! Warm, moist and sweet chocolatey goodness! With always hungry teenage boys hanging around my house, I think I will be making this cake often. The recipe uses simple ingredients that I usually have on hand, comes together quick and only takes 15 minutes to cook! Whats not to love about that?! Trust me this cake will be a huge hit and couldn’t be easier to make! I highly recommend it!

Wish I could reach through the computer screen and eat that for my breakfast! Is that wrong? : )
No way–I think cake for breakfast sounds dreamy:) lol!
How long do you cook the cake for?
JUST KIDDING…just saw that you said 15 minutes in the entry paragraph. :) I don’t know how that slipped past me…
Im so sorry that I didn’t put the bake time in the body of the recipe–thank you for bringing that to my attention. I have added it now:)
Yum! I love Texas Sheet cake, and I haven’t made it forever. Looks amazing.
A delicious, favorite, to go for cake!! I have been making this cake for years…great every time and for almost any occassion! Love your blog.
Thanks Linda! I don’t know what took me so long to make this cake. It will be a staple around our house now! YUM
I’ve been having a mean chocolate craving and this looks so satisfying right now!! NEED TO MAKE THIS :)
You are so right. I have been making this recipe for years and never fail to get compliments on it. Everyone loves it and I am one of the biggest fans. Love this cake!
My Aunt Hazel made this cake for me back in 1967 for a high school graduation party. Not a bite left. I like the buttermilk version, but if you don’t have fresh buttermilk just use buttermilk powder. Mix the powder in with the dry ingredients before adding you liquid. Works great! We love this cake.
