      Thanks for stopping in and pinning! This cake is far superior to any chocolate box cake I've had. And it's pretty easy too. My dad makes a similar one, and he's... not so great in the kitchen. Lol But it turns out delicious for him. Definitely give it a try.

    Have made this several times now, and am finding that it needs to bake 25 minutes, as opposed to the 15 minutes stated. Could have some to do with altitude, but just a note, be sure to check with toothpick! Otherwise the recipe is spot on an oh, so, yummy! Always a hit at the office!!

      Like a rimmed cookie sheet. I only have half sheet sizes, so 12"x17"

    I’ve made this recipe countless times. It’s a delicious crowd pleaser and is simple to make. I recommend adding toasted chopped pecans on top of the cooked cake then pouring the glaze over. I also recommend using a rich Mexican vanilla for a more authentic Texas flavor. Thank you for sharing this!
