After receiving an insane number of requests, we’ve taken our recipe for The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake and turned it into a Texas Sheet Cake that is absolute perfection. A simple cake batter is made using just one bowl which keeps things nice and easy on this cake. The real highlight of a Texas Sheet Cake is a cooked frosting that is poured over the cake while it is still warm. The cake is often finished off chopped nuts. Chopped pecans or walnuts are often spotted on a Texas Sheet Cake. They are completely optional, of course, especially if you are allergic. You can stir the nuts into the frosting itself before pouring it over the cake, or you can sprinkle them on top. It’s up to you!
The Most Amazing Texas Sheet Cake is light and fluffy with a deliciously decadent cooked frosting on top. Sprinkle on some chopped pecans or walnuts and you have a sheet cake that people will rave over!
