My Aunt O used to make what she called a Texas sheet cake for the holidays. This cake comes the closest to duplicating her recipe. My kids all love this cake. I have to admit, it's a favorite of mine as well. Chocolatey goodness and very rich! I do not use the nuts because of allergies but am told that walnuts go well with it.
