Plano Texas Sheet Cake Recipe

Plano Texas Sheet Cake

From blondeberry 15 years ago

Got this one yrs ago from my mother-in-law. It's a good old fashion Texan sheet cake. It's quick easy to make and serves a crowd.

Melt the 2 sticks oleo, cocoa and water together.
Add the next 6 ingredients. Mix.
Pour into a 12 x 18 baking pan.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
Mix the icing ingredients together; add more milk IF necessary. Spread on the cooled cake.

I feel the same way about the nuts. I don't like them getting in the way of chocolate OR icing!!!

This recipe is a great old stand-by, Tried and True! I have made this recipe using 1 stick unsalted butter and 1/2 cup Crisco! Very tender, and the real butter gives it that fabulous extra dimension! So good!

You could try butter or vegetable shortening. Also check out the vegan substitutes. Truthfully, I don't prefer desserts when it comes to food, BUT when I do prepare them, I always use butter for the best results.
