CLASSIC TEXAS SHEET CAKE
If you love chocolate, and we mean really truly love, then this classic Texas sheet cake is exactly what your sweet tooth craves. Between the scratch-made cake and the decadent homemade frosting, this dessert is a chocolate lover's dream come true. Unlike most cakes, this tender-crumbed delight should be frosted when it's still hot-no need to let it cool. Pour on the sticky, sweet pecan-flecked frosting and watch it spread into a gloriously glossy blanket that'll keep your cake moist and fresh tasting for as long as it lasts.
