| Haven't made this in years & don't know why because it's so good. Nice that you can make it with just one pan & the jellyroll pan. TEXAS SHEET CAKE Cake: 2 cups flour 2 cups sugar Dash of salt 2 sticks margarine 1 cup water 5 TBL cocoa 1/2 cup buttermilk 2 eggs 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp vanilla Coil margarine, water & cocoa. Pour over mixture of flour, sugar & salt & stir rapidly. Add buttermilk, eggs, cinnamon, baking soda & vanilla. Bake on a large, greased jellyroll pan in a preheated 400° oven for 20 minutes - no more! (Test with a toothpick after 15 minutes.) While cake bakes, during last 5 minutes, make the icing.~~ Icing: 6 TBL milk 1 stick margarine 1 box powdered sugar 1 tsp vanilla 4 TBL cocoa 1/2 cup chopped pecans Melt margarine w/milk & cocoa & pour over powdered sugar. Add vanilla & nuts; mix well. Ice cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.~~ |
