God Bless Texas!

I have no idea why it's called Texas sheet cake, I tried to find out, but no luck! It doesn't matter what it's called to me, it is one of my favorite desserts!

Here is my mom's recipe:

2 sticks of butter- bring butter to boil, take off of the burner, then add following

3T. cocoa powder

1/2 cup water

mix well and then add to above mixture:

2 cups sugar

2cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. Cinnamon

1 cup buttermilk

1 tsp. vanilla

2 eggs beaten

Bake @ 350 for 20 minutes

Here it is getting mixed....

Here it is in the pan ( i have written down 15.5 x 11.5 pan, mine is bigger than that)(I'd just use a big cookie sheet!)

Here it is baked...

When I take the cake out of the oven I start on the frosting.

1 stick of butter

6 T. milk

3 T. cocoa, bring these 3 things to a boil.

Take off the burner and add

1 box of powdered sugar (I've never bought my powdered sugar in a box, so I measured and I used 6 cups)

1 tsp. vanilla

Here it is ......You spread this on a slightly warm cake.

In the process of being frosted.

And here is the empty frosting pan! If my head would fit inside I would lick it clean!!! So yummy! If you need a chocolate fix this is a great choice. I had this baked,frosted and my kitchen back in order in an hour!
