Here at NFC, we do a whole lot of tastings. We do them for the Native Days Desserts, Special Meals, demos, you name it. So, not everything makes it to the plate. So, I’ve decided to share one of my favorites. The Texan Sheet cake…..oooooohhhh! Texas forever.
Now, this cake may or not be native to the state of Texas, but it has become a symbol of the Texan hospitality and friendliness. It’s also now found in many cookbooks across the states and featured as a traditional American food. Woo hoo!
Not only is this cake easy to make, full of flavor and fun, but in Texas, it’s also served in the pan it’s baked in. Score! Some use a yellow cake base and a SUPER sweet frosting. I did not. I decideded to rock out a chocolate cake with a light fudge-like frosting. Check it out…
