Meegan’s Texas Sheet Cake

January 7, 2014 By Meegan 5 Comments

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…

{Meegan’s Texas Sheet Cake}

Ingredients for Cake:

2 cups sugar

2 cups flour

3/4 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

 2 sticks REAL butter

3 Tbs. cocoa

1 cup water

2 eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 tsp. REAL Vanilla

Mix sugar and flour.  Mix butter, cocoa, and water, bring to a boil.  Pour over sugar, salt, baking soda and flour.  Beat eggs, add buttermilk and vanilla.

Bake at 350* for 20-25 minutes in a 12×18 inch pan.

Ingredients for Icing:

2 sticks REAL butter 3 Tbls cocoa

1 box powdered sugar

6 Tbls milk

1 cup coarsely chopped nuts

1 tsp REAL vanilla

Melt butter and cocoa and milk.  Bring to a boil.  Pour over powdered sugar, and whisk until smooth.  Add pecans Add vanilla.

Pour over hot cake.

How easy does that sound?  It seriously is so chocolatey, and moist.  Plus the flavor of the buttermilk in a chocolate cake can’t be beat, right?

I hope you will make Meegan’s Texas Sheet Cake sometime soon.  It is the perfect comfort food for Winter.

Thanks for joining me today!  I have been having so much fun reading your sweet and encouraging comments.  I am a very blessed woman to have you here each day!

Make it a Texas Sheet Cake Tuesday!!

    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.
