About the dish

Texas sheet cake is an American dessert made with a combination of buttermilk, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, sugar, flour, butter, and cocoa. Once baked, the hot chocolate cake is topped with a crunchy icing featuring pecan pieces. In Texas, it is a staple at funerals, but it is also often seen in churches. The cake is beloved because it is easy to prepare and has a moist and gooey texture. Although its place of origin is still unknown, most people agree that it was invented in Texas due to the usage of local ingredients such as buttermilk and pecans.
