GRANDMA STODDARD'S TEXAS SHEET CAKE



Grandma Stoddard's Texas Sheet Cake image

This is an old family recipe and one of our very favorites! I have taken this recipe to many social events and it always gets scarfed up really fast. This makes a very rich, chocolatey cake that can be cut into brownie-like bars. This cake keeps and freezes well. Yummy hot or also tastes great refrigerated.
