Favorite Chocolate Sheet Cake image

My mother adapted this family pleaser from a recipe for vanilla cake that was in a church cookbook. The cake is so flavorful, it wouldn't need frosting-but I always feel you can never have enough chocolate!

This cake was just what I was looking for. It was easy to make, and it turned out perfectly. The cake was moist and chocolatey, and the frosting was rich and creamy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I liked the texture of the cake, and the frosting was nice and creamy. I would probably make this again, but I would use less sugar next time.

This cake was okay. It wasn't as moist as I would have liked, and the frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste. I probably won't be making this again.

I tried this recipe, and it was a disaster. The cake didn't rise properly, and the frosting was too runny. I don't recommend this recipe.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.
