ReplyDeleteBe right over, Kitty!!!
YUM!!!
I love chocolate sheet cakes, but the cinnamon is a new twist, will have to try that, sounds good!
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorites -- have you ever made the white Texas sheet cake -- for a crowd the two of them are perfect!
ReplyDeleteBack when I could eat sugar and lived in Texas....I loved to make a big chocolate sheet cake! This looks divine! And the ice cream would go good with it, too! Enjoy your day! I'm going to look for some sugar free fudge bars in the freezer! heehee!
ReplyDeleteoh wow how yummy! I have eaten but never make Texas Sheet cake, but sounds like with this you can't go wrong.
ReplyDeleteHello Kitty, I used to make a cake similar to this when my children were young. I always loved the addition of cinnamon. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTexas sheet cake with cinnamon! What could be better than that? I haven't seen the Texas sheet cake recipe in years. An old friend of mine used to make it in a jelly roll pan...thin-ish cake and yummy icing. I always think the buttermilk is what makes it so good. Yum, Thanks for sharing the recipe.
ReplyDeleteKitty~ Your sheet cake looks so rich & chocolaty! I would love the addition of cinnamon :)
ReplyDeleteI do! I do! I want to come for cake & tea...especially if I can eat it off your gorgeous dishes! =) I love cinnamon/chocolate together...MMM!
ReplyDeleteDelicious, I am certain...rich, chocolate, moist...yum!
ReplyDeleteThe Texas sheet cake would be ideal for a potluck, and so easy to make. Thanks for sharing a tantalizing photo and the recipe Kitty.

Hi Kitty, Texas sheet cake is my favorite cake ever; I've made it many times. A twist is to bake it until it's almost done (about 2" left); cover the top with marshmallows, return to the oven for the 2". You still frost it. It adds a layer of gooey goodness. This icing is super good too. Glad you shared your recipe so others can enjoy it too. Take my word for it, ladies: THIS CAKE IS FABULOUS!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Kitty,
ReplyDeleteYour chocolate cake and tea look delicious; yummy! I have never made this cake but it sounds fabulous. Thanks for sharing with us and joining me for tea. I like your cup and plate too. I appreciate you sharing all your wonderful recipes. Have a delightful week.
Blessings,
Sandi
Wow, that looks like a delicious cake. I love the idea of adding cinnamon. If I could, I'd hop over to your house for cake and milk....I know that sounds childish, but I still prefer a cold glass of milk with chocolate cake. Thanks for joining me at Your Cozy Home Party this week.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to share a piece and have a nice cup of tea :) Thanks so much for sharing at Mix it up Monday!
ReplyDeleteKitty, this is one of my kids all time favorite, my recipe card is worn and very used. This is a fabulous recipe that is a classic. Hope you are having a great week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
ReplyDeleteCome Back Soon!

Kitty, I grew up on this very cake recipe and I make it all the time for family and friend get togethers. I have never found another nearly as good as the plain ole Texas Sheet Cake.
ReplyDeletehugs,bj
ok...i've decided on your Texas Sheet cake....can't go wrong with that. :))
ReplyDeleteI'm going to make the cake and freeze it...then, the day of my Bunco gathering, I'll take it out of freezer, warm it just a bit and pour on the fabulous fudge icing. Think that will work or should I just make the cake fresh that morning.?
Actually, it doesn't take long to whip it up so guess I'd better do that.
