These were amazing! Went over very well at a brunch.
Oh my goodness. I clicked on the stars so I could read what I thought were 4 reviews—often it’s hyperlinked—but apparently I just gave your recipe 2 stars (!!!) even though I’ve never made it and it looks delicious. So now, the overall rating went down. Sorry, everybody! ???? #usererror
Amazingly easy to throw together…and delicious!! I Have made this cake several times now, always turns out perfect and everyone loves it.
OMG, so delicious! I’m Canadian and have seen lots of Texas sheet cake recipes and I couldn’t understand the appeal, I assumed being so thin they would be dry but this was AMAZING! Yum, thank you so much, this will be a go-to recipe for me!
yay!!! im so glad you liked it! it has always been a family favorite!
LOVE! Made a double batch to share with a large group of friends celebrating birthdays. Delicious! <3
Made for party…ok, but use butter or I can’t believe it’s not butter…not oil. Dry.
Yep❤️That is the exact original…81 year old Dallas girl right here….👏👏💯
