Texas Sheet Cake... Brownies.... Yummies
My family called it cake, Shauns called it brownies... Either way its perfect!!
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
½ cups (1 cube) of butter
¼ cup cocoa
½ cup shortening
1 cup water
¼ cup cocoa
½ cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 tsp of baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
Frosting:
¾ cup of butter (1 ½
cube)
2 tsp cocoa
¼-3/4 cup milk
3 ½ cups powder sugar
1 tsp vanilla
- put dry ingredients together
- melt butter, shortening and water in sauce pan.
- Add buttermilk to hot liquids
- add liquid to dry ingredients
- spray cookie sheet with cooking spray
- pour cake mixture in
- bake at 350 for 20 minutes
- Make frosting while cake is baking
- Melt butter
- Add milk
- Mix into powder sugar and cocoa mixture.
- Add vanilla
- You want this to be extremely thin. More like a syrup than a frosting. If its too thick add more milk.
- When cake is still hot poke holes all over with toothpick or fork.
- Poor frosting on top and spread around so that it can soak into the cake/ brownies
- This will look like way to much frosting but its not! Just let it soak in.
- Pull edges away from baking sheet so that it has more places to go and soak up.
- EAT IT
