Texas Sheet Cake
Last night I was craving chocolate, so while I was at the store to pick up milk, I also bought a Ghirardelli brownie mix. It was OK, but a mix is never as good as something made from scratch. It made me think of my aunt Brenda’s Texas SHeet Cake, which I ADORE. It is rich and simple.
