Here's a spin on the beloved chocolate Texas Sheet Cake. To serve as large triangles, cut cake into 5- x 5-inch squares, and then cut squares corner to corner.
I’ve been making this cake for 10+ years and it’s ALWAYS a hit. It’s light and not too sweet. People often ask for the recipe and I gladly share it.
Instructions in the recipe call for an 18.25 oz. cake mix so this recipe doesn’t work. Companies like DH, Pillsbury, and BC quit making this size around 2012-13–they went to 16.25 oz and now they are down to 15.25 oz. When questioned re the change to 16.25 I was told “ it makes the same size cake.” It does not and how could it with less product? I fully realize prices have to be increased to stay in business but don’t take product away and also increase the price. They finally had to make the boxes smaller. Consumers need to contact these companies and politely tell them we can’t make lots of our older recipes due to your changes in product weight.
