Chocolate Sheet Cake
Cooked up by Lori on Oct 5, 2007This is my grandmother’s recipe and I am proud to share it with you. I make this all the time and you can actually do variations of this with pineapple, strawberry, etc. It’s super good and is a cross between a cake and brownie. Enjoy!

Melt butter, shortening, water, and cocoa. Bring to a boil. Mix sugar & flour in bowl. Add the first mixture you boiled to dry ingredients. Then add buttermilk, eggs, soda, cinnamon, vanilla. Mix well and pour into a greased & floured 17×11 sheet pan. Bake for 22-25 minutes in a 350′ oven.

I’m so sorry Karin! For some reason, I wasn’t getting emails telling me I had comments. I have fixed it now I think. I realize it’s a bit late but I use a 17×11 sheet pan. I guess I need to add that to the post!!

The Chocolate Sheet Cake sounds yummy. Used to have it a lot when I lived in Texas, we called it Texas Sheet Cake! Didn’t see any pictures.
