Texas Sheet Cake

This is a super yummy cake. Make it extra awesome by using dark cocoa. And be sure to eat it the same day it is made. It doesn't taste as good the next day.


Bring to a boil:

1 cube butter

1 cup water

1/4 cup cocoa

Then add:

½ cup canola oil while the mixture is still hot

Pour over:

2 cups flour

2 cups sugar

2 tsp. soda

1/2 tsp. salt

Add:

1/2 cup buttermilk, or sour milk (add 2 tsp. of vinegar to milk and let sit if you don’t have buttermilk)

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

Beat well and pour on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. While still hot, frost with chocolate frosting.

Frosting:

1 cube butter, slightly softened

1/4 cup cocoa, sifted

2-6 cups powdered sugar, sifted

3-6 Tbs. Milk

1 tsp. vanilla

Boil the milk, cocoa, and butter, then stir in sugar and vanilla. (optional: Pour frosting through sieve to prevent lumps.) The more powdered sugar you add, the thicker the frosting will be, so you can use up to half a bag.
