Texas Sheet Cake
A couple of f-listies have asked, "What's Texas sheet cake?" :-)
It is a delicious chocolate cake that is baked not in a cake pan, but on a cookie sheet/jelly roll pan. So it's a huge cake, though not as tall as a standard cake pan cake. The recipes I have (and the one I bought) have a very rich, sweet chocolate frosting for it, but for some reason I seem to remember my mom using a brown sugar or caramel frosting on the Texas sheet cakes she used to make. Because the frosting is so sweet, a little goes a long way.

I use the powdered sugar chocolate glaze icing. My kids would fight for licking the pan of icing! One good thing about being an empty nest.. now I get to lick the icing pan!!!
