Texas Sheet Cake

This is a recipe that I got from my Faria family.  I make it for Michael every year on his birthday.  I love it so much!!

Texas Sheet Cake-

Step One:

2 cups sugar

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp. salt

*Stir together in a mixing bowl and set aside.

Step Two:

2 cubes margarine

1 cup water

6 Tbsp. cocoa

*Put in sauce pan, bring to a boil and remove from heat

Step Three:

2 eggs, slightly beaten

1 Tbsp. vinegar

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 cup sour cream or cream cheese

1 tsp. baking soda

*Mix together

Add steps 2 and 3 to step 1 alternately.  Beat until well mixed.  Place in a greased a floured sheet cake pan (cookie sheet) and bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

Frosting-

Bring to a boil:

1 cube margarine

6 Tbsp. milk

4 Tbsp. cocoa

Add:

1 box (3 1/2 cups) powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup nuts

Beat well.  Spread while warm onto warm cake.

I use walnuts, and I wish I had used more! It's hard to spread them out evenly over the cake because the frosting is pretty liquidy.  But it is oh so delicious!
