Texas Sheet Cake
Texas Sheet Cake is a chocolate sheet cake baked in a large, shallow pan, known for its moist crumb and fudgy texture. The recipe involves boiling sugar, butter, and cocoa to create a rich syrup, which is then mixed with flour and eggs, and topped with a smooth chocolate frosting. The finished cake has a glossy surface and a dense, tender crumb.

- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x12 inch sheet pan.

Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and milk until smooth and glossy. Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake.3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 cup butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup milk
