Description
Yes, it is supposed to be that thin. Yes, the frosting is supposed to be that sweet. Yes, the cake is supposed to be that moist. Yes, I can eat half the cake in one sitting. Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake is a Southern specialty and by specialty I mean institution. Recipes for this cake are passed down through the generations, and for good reason! This gluten free cake is incredibly, undeniably, scrumptiously delicious. Although every family's recipe may vary slightly, they all rely on very basic ingredients and come together simply. What could be better then that?
