Tishe, This is my sister-in-law's recipe for the Texas Sheet cake she brought to our grandson's shower. Enjoy!
Mix and set aside: 2 cups flour 2 cups sugar 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp allspice 2 tsp cinnamon
Boil: 1 cup water 3 or 4 Tbls powdered cocoa (unsweetened) 1 stick butter 1/2 cup oil
Pour over dry ingred. and blend well. Add: 2 eggs 1/2 cup buttermilk* 1 tsp soda 1 tsp vanilla
Batter is thin. Pour into cookie sheet. Bake at 400 for 20 min or until toothpick comes out clean.
Frosting: boil: 1 stick butter, 3 or 4 Tbl cocoa, 6 Tbls milk. pour over 1 lbs powder sugar and beat - add 1 tsp vanilla
Spread over cake while still warm.
*buttermilk: I never buy buttermilk, so here's how to cheat: pour milk into 1/2 C measure cup but not completely full. Add a tablespoon or more of vinegar to sour the milk.
