Texas Sheet Cake

"Texas Sheet Cake is a classic Southern dessert that’s easy to make and feeds a crowd. After the cake bakes in the oven, it’s topped with a fudgy layer of warm chocolate frosting and sprinkled with pecans. Learn how to make this nostalgic Southern dessert for your next backyard BBQ, potluck, party, or whenever those chocolate cravings strike. Texas Sheet Cake is basically a chocolate sheet cake with chocolate frosting and pecans. Although it’s super simple to make, it’s incredibly delicious. The cake itself is moist from both butter and boiling water, creating a tender crumb. As the cake cools, you’ll make the frosting and pour it over the cake while the frosting is still warm. I used dark chocolate for the frosting, but you can use milk or semi-sweet chocolate if you want a sweeter frosting."
