Today I’m going to share with you one of my favorite desserts – Texas Sheet Cake! This is a dish I fell in love with long before I moved to Texas. My aunt (who has always lived in Michigan, go figure) makes this for any big family gatherings, and it is always a hit. This is her recipe. It is moist and oh-so-delicious. I hope you enjoy! 🙂
