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.

Preheat oven to 350º.
Lightly grease a jellyroll pan.

Cake:
Heat until boiling:
2 sticks margarine
1-cup water
4-tsp cocoa

Pour into a large bowl and add:
2-cup flour
2-cup sugar
1-tsp soda
1-tsp salt
2 eggs
½-cup sour cream
1-tsp vanilla

Pour into greased jellyroll pan and bake for 20 minutes.

Icing:
Heat until boiling:
1 stick margarine
4-TB cocoa
6-TB milk

Pour into a large bowl and add:
1 box confectioners sugar
1-tsp vanilla
1-cup nuts

When cake is cool add icing and enjoy.
