Dads Texas Sheet Cake Recipe
My dad LOVED this cake! And so does everyone else. Like a rich moist chocolate cake topped with fudge. What's not to like. Easy to make, easy to clean up since its one pot.

My husband and his whole family love this cake. It is wonderful anyone who tries this will NOT be disappointed. ENJOY!!!!!


Love cake recipes with buttermilk or sour cream - seems to make them extra rich and moist. This is printed out and ready to go next time I have enough company to help us eat it (to prevent me from piggin' out on the entire thing...). Thank you!
