My Grandma used to make this Texas sheet cake for my birthday every year. I did not have the recipe but I was so lucky to find this awesome Texas sheet cake video recipe tutorial by Bigger Bolder Baking, on YouTube. This cake is just like my grandma’s but it needs coconut and more pecans in the icing, other than that, it’s fine. I love finding new ways to use my sheet pan, they are good for way more than cookies! So when I saw this recipe for my grandma’s sheet cake, I knew I had to try it.
