Texas Sheet Cake

My friend Shauna requested this recipe so I thought I'd post it here. This is the cake we make for Cord's birthday every year -- it is so easy and so, so good! (the picture is from Stormy's blog)


Bring to boil:
1 cup butter
1 cup water
4 Tbs coco powder

In a large mixing bowl combine:
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar

Pour the chocolate mixture over the flour & sugar and mix.

Add:
2 eggs
1 tsp. soda dissolved in 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla

When the batter is smooth pour into a greased jelly roll pan and bake for 25-30 minutes @ 350 degrees.

Icing
1/2 cup butter
6 Tbs milk
4 Tbs coco powder
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

In a sauce pan melt the butter with the milk and simmer. Add the coco powder & powdered sugar. Mix until smooth. Cool slightly and pour on the cake. When the frosting has set the cake is ready to enjoy!
