Texas Sheet Cake

It is time for a dessert. And as I have had a special request for this dish for the upcoming Memorial Day Holiday I am going to post it now. Not diet friendly, but for those days declared calorie free!

Sift together: 2 cups sugar
                    2 cups flour

Bring to Boil: 2 cubes butter
                     1 cup water
                     4-6 tblspns baking cocoa ( I use 6 the recipe says 4, we like our a little on the dark side )
     Add to flour/sugar mixture and stir gently.

Add: 1/2 cup buttermilk
         2 eggs beaten
         2 tspn vanilla
         1 tspn baking soda
         1/2 tsp salt
     Mix Well

Poor into greased and floured  baking sheet. Cook at 400' for approximately 20 min. (until a knife comes out clean.)

The frosting should be poured on while the cake is still quite warm. Begin preparing with about 10 minutes of baking left.

Frosting:

Melt all ingredients together in sauce pan until just boiling stirring consistently to prevent lumps or scorching. When boiling occurs pour over warm cake.

1 cube butter
6 tblspns buttermilk
2 tspn vanilla
4-6 tblspns cocoa (again the recipe calls for 4, we preferre 6)
2 cups powdered sugar


This cake is best if you let it cool completely before trying to cut it. The frosting will get a crusty sugary texture that is oooh soooo good! I often make it the day before we plan to eat it. Enjoy!
