Texas Sheet Cake or 30 Minute Cake

This Texas Sheet Cake or 30 Minute Cake is delicious. Don’t expect to have any leftovers because you will love this cake! Everyone will. Infact if you’re expecting company I’d suggest you make it last minute so you don’t have time to eat it all before they actually come.
Might I suggest you check out my Vanilla Texas Sheetcake Recipe as well? It is so popular and has pretty much gone viral on Pinterest. You cannot go wrong with either recipe. Let me know how you like them.
