@ECBG Thanks! I'm going to try that.

It's close to the Texas Sheet Cake recipe I was given when I got married! That was made in a bigger pan, hence the Texas name I guess!

I hadn't thought about that in a long time.

@Sooner So sorry about the uneven lines my Dear. After I posted from my cell, the first numeral in all the measurements were cut off!!!

I had to back in and move them since DH takes the computer from 9pm until bed.

Anyway, I wouldn't EVEN miss devil's food if I could just have this one. It will go home with DS, but I'll get two pieces first!!!!!

Please let me know if you like it.

@vabreeze I JUST EDITED THIS: I think it's 2 sticks butter. . . but better to let her weigh in (pun intended) than me! But I'll 2 sticks go in the cake and 1/2 stick in the icing?

My first post here was wrong. I looked at a recipe online close to my recipe! LOL!!!

@Sooner SO sorry! I hate typing long things on my cell. It "corrected" the measurement of butter.

The measurement of butter should be ONE stick of butter!

@ECBG GLAD you answered! I can't find my recipe for a cake like that so I'm excited about this!

We moved a few YEARS ago and some things I have NO idea where they wound up! Think the moving co. stole my recipes? LOL!!!!

@godi Please correct the cake's butter measurement. It should be 1 stick butter, NOT 1/2.

I see in your original post it is showing 1 stick of butter. Not sure where the discrepancy came up. Anyway, I have already printed it out to try!!

@Mumof2 The icing will be lind of firm, not fluffy like butter cream. It was 75 in our house yesterday and the leftovers weren't right. I'm keeping it in the fridge. The textures are wonderful the way they're meant to be.
