I stick to our family recipe for my favorite chocolate sheet cake:
Thomas Cake
½ cup Shortening (Butter flavored)
1 stick Oleo
1 cup Water
¼ cup Cocoa
1 tsp Vanilla
boil, add to ingredients below,
& set pot aside to use for frosting.
2 cups Sugar
2 cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 cup Buttermilk
2 Eggs
pinch of salt
mix boiled ingredients well with dry, then add eggs and mix thoroughly, pour into greased 11"X15" pan and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes till tooth pick inserted in middle comes out clean
While the cake is baking take the same pot from earlier and add
1 stick Oleo
¼ cup Cocoa
6 tbsp Milk
pinch of salt
1 tsp Vanilla
bring to a boil then add
1 box Powdered Sugar
