    Thanks again, Ginger

      Sometimes autocorrect is a little too helpful. My niece told me she did not care for the cinnamon so I thought I might try a little instant espresso since I heard that it enhances the chocolate. Then she emailed me and said it was really rich and creamy so I think it is good either way. I hope your guest enjoy.

      The recipe has been around for forever probably because it is so easy.

      Thank you for visiting. I got the pot in a box of stuff no one wanted at an estate sale. Along with some lonely plates that are just wonderful. I paid $1 for all. That does not happen to me often, but I skipped home that day.

    I’ve never had this cake and never heard of it till now! Think that’s because I’m up in New England. But it looks delicious and will be perfect to bring to a picnic. I love cinnamon and that combined with the chocolate and pecans makes my mouth water!!!

    YUM! Even though I just made this, I’m craving it again after looking at your photos! I had to laugh because I made mine in two pans and froze one thinking we’d have too much cake. The next day the first cake was GONE and we were pulling the second one out. That one lasted even less time and the little ones didn’t even get any so it can’t be blamed on them! Yes, Texas cake is always a winner! Love your toasted pecans!

      I can’t believe you would comment about my photos since you two are the champions. I only wish I could be half the photographer as Scott. I would love to learn to make that drizzle you make on your cakes.

    I grew up on Texas Sheet Cake and still make it to this day. I take it to home fellowship gatherings, I serve it at Thanksgiving, Christmas and “JUST BECAUSE….
    It’s my favorite cake in the whole wide world….and not because my mama made it for me nearly all my LOOOONG life but because it’s just. good. cake.
    Over from Mrs. Olson’s…
    and I looked for a Google Friends Connect link that I could follow you thru but didn’t find it…???

    Oh. yes, the famous Texas sheet cake. I remember people making it a lot. Even though I don’t really care for chocolate cake a piece of this now and then really does hit the spot. Thanks for sharing with SYC.

    Oh, I remember Texas sheet cake from my childhood! You always knew it was going t be a good party or church fellowship when someone walked in with a Texas sheet cake! 🙂 lol I’ve never tried to make one on my own before, and I’m really intrigued in giving your recipe a try! Thanks for sharing 🙂 I followed you here from the party at plaid & paisley kitchen, btw. Also, I’d like to invite you to link up with me at Tasty Tuesdays: http://goo.gl/c0vwvN

    I’m pretty sure I’ve had this exact cake or at least one very similiar. My mother-in-law makes it but it’s not called Texas Cake, which I find kind of funny since we are in Texas. Anyways, it looks delicious and I’m pinning it. Maybe I’ll surprise my mother-in-law and make it for her.
    Thanks for linking up to Saturday Dishes.
