My oldest doesn’t like chocolate. Yes I know he’s not normal. Haha! I eat enough chocolate for the both of us! I love the traditional Texas Sheet Cake chocolate cake (recipe here) so when I found this recipe in one of grandma’s old homemaker cookbooks I was eager to try it.

Boiling part of the ingredients is what makes the Texas sheet cake different than other cake recipes. Texas sheet cakes are also made in a sheet pan making them a thinner layer than a traditional cake.

This cake has just a touch of cinnamon making it a little different than a traditional vanilla cake. I love the flavor but you could leave it out if you are wanting more of a traditional white cake.

There is just enough icing for a thin layer (just how I like it!) so if you are an icing fan I would double the recipe.
