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.

This cake was a bit dry, but the frosting was delicious. I would make it again, but I would use a different cake recipe.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would make it again, but I would use less sugar in the frosting.
