Yes! It’s time for Meegan’s Texas Sheet Cake. Our family LOVES this moist, chocolatey cake. I made it for a family gathering this past weekend, and I thought you might like it, too. It serves a crowd and doesn’t last long, because it is THAT good…

It sounds so good – I LOVE chocolate but I am afraid that the cake is to big for just me. I would OD on in so will save the recipe for when I have a few friends over.
Thanks so much for sharing.

We just flew back from Austin last night so I had to comment on the sheet cake :-) (We lived there for about 12 years before being relocated. I would definitely move back if I could.)
Your recipe looks really great. Just like I remember it before going gluten free. I came up with a gluten free version last year after my kids complained they don’t have Texas sheet cake in CA.
