Need a dessert that'll feed a family? This Texas sheet cake is amazing. It has a few extra steps but comes together in a snap. Fluffy and tender, the cake is thin so it bakes quickly. Each bite melts in your mouth. On top is a rich and chocolaty fudge-like frosting. Vanessa gives options for toppings, and we went with pecans. But honestly, this cake will be just as good without any toppings.
