My name is Oliver, 86 years old. I have an interesting story about the Texas Chocolate Sheet cake.Years ago, I believe it was in the 60's, My Mother and Father-in law lived in the Dominican Republic. A Dominican lady made them a chocolate cake. It was delicious. My mother-in-law asked for the recipe. The lady refused, said it was a secret family recipe handed down. She finally relented and gave it to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law gave it to my wife. My wife gave it to whomever wanted it. No longer a secret. In the 1980 I was working in Texas. My wife gave the "Secret Recipe to a very nice German lady there. Figured that's how it got introduced to Texas. To make a long story short. The Secret recipe is the same as the one you posted.It is by far my favorite chocolate cake. Love your show. I watch every episode.

[@tomwyant9297]

What a great story, Oliver! You could be correct about the origin of the recipe. We sure do appreciate you being a loyal subscriber of our channel. I am honored that you watch our videos. You have made my day!

I love your recipes of all the cooks that I watched you are the best and I love how you Give me a recipe step-by-step so we could understand and I just want to say I bet you were the best teacher there was❤❤❤

[@momkatmax]

My Mom always gave recipes when asked. She thought it was a compliment. Her best friend was VERY reluctant to. That friend had a Polish Mama who had great recipes my Mom wanted to recreate. After she got a couple where the ingredients or directions were changed, she gave up.

[@sylvias9659]

Oh my goodness. I literally just texted my cousin to see if she had my Aunts recipe for Texas sheet cake. She’s been gone for 4 years and I miss her and the cake. Thank you for always sharing the most wonderful recipes. I’m the matriarch of our family now and I cook for my son and his family every Wednesday. (My daughter and identical granddaughters are amazing cooks) I love the two of you, you are so beautiful inside and out. I am going to make this also for bible study too! Have a blessed and amazing day. I cannot wait until your next video.

[@gotbordercollies]

Your kind words about your friend made me tear up. You guys are so kind.

[@nancyhavard8345]

Have you tried this cake with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

[@mjrussell414]

@@nancyhavard8345I will add that when I make it soon.

[@susanyoung10]

My mother in law’s recipe also had cinnamon. I’ve always used cinnamon.

[@patriciahenderson1999]

Thank you for giving credit where credit is due to Ladybird. Being a Texas gal myself, this is one of the first cakes my mother taught me to make, I was 8, I am 65 now. The only difference is that we always add a teaspoon of cinnamon to the cake mix. It makes a big difference. Everyone always asks, "What's the difference in your chocolate cake?" It is such a subtle taste that they can not distinguish what it is. Hope you try it.

[@cherylallen3013]

We always add cinnamon to our cake, too. It really does enhance the flavor!

[@terriefirmin3190]

I agree!,....definitely add the teaspoon of cinnamon

[@marchacoursey1508]

I'm from Texas and we love our favorite cake! We add cinnamon also.

[@lauriemangham7346]

To me it’s just a chocolate cake without the cinnamon! The best cake ever.

[@charlenejohnson6632]

Yes my girlfriend from n central farm country made a packed lunch while we were driving into a Billy Graham crusade in Chicago 1971. I was pregnant with morning sickness. She made this. I never had a problem. Now I'm going to make this for my birthday this weekend no. 78!!!!!

I have been making this cake since the late 1960's. I received it shortly after my marriage. A real crowd pleaser. I also made a pineapple sheet cake.

I made this all time for my dad. Haven't made sense he passed in 1987. But I think will have to do so.❤❤

[@lilblackduc7312]

I might understand your feelings. I lived far away from my Mom, but I called her almost every night. At Christmas, I would play one Christmas song for her each night from Thanksgiving to New Years'. After she passed-on, I couldn't play that music to save my life! Here lately, I'm starting to play it, again. God bless...

My granddaughter sang "You are my sunshine" to my dad on his last day on earth.... my daughter says she can't sing that song anymore....I told her to start singing it again because my dad tapped his finger while her daughter was singing to him... good memories at a sad time.

[@joduffield3171]

My sister and I always celebrate our Mother by eating her favorite foods. She was a wonderful baker ( cook too ). She made this a lot. Always has been too sweet and rich for me. But I sure miss her baking. I miss her.

[@user-cd8bv5oh7m]

1964. The cake was originally called Gertrude Armstrong’s Chocolate Cake. Ms. Armstrong was a Texas native I believe. I’ve had the recipe since 1964, yes, that long ago. I cut it out of a newspaper, and Lady Bird was not part of the nomenclature at the time, LBJ had just been made President and she was not that well known at the time let alone have any influence. Her influence for the cake came along later after it had been published and already was a favorite. I made it immediately and to this day it is everybody’s favorite, I make it often. When I get the chocolate crazies this is my go-to for my chocolate fix. I couldn’t do without it. I was 23 years old when I first got it and now I’m 83. Wow, a lifetime of the best chocolate cake ever. I’ve talked myself into it…..this chocolate cake is on my horizon for today, can’t wait any longer. I love your all’s show, I watch every one of them and have made MANY of your recipes, both sweet and savory. Keep them coming!

[@comesitatmytable9044]

Thank you so much for the information about the cake. I'm guessing Lady Bird was a fan of it as well and probably requested it a lot. I am chuckling that it's on your horizon - I'm hoping you've already enjoyed it since you made the post! Thank you so much for being at the table with us! We love having you!

Oh Good Lord! I don’t even want to watch this video!! Your desserts are all so wonderful and tempting but there is only 2 of us to eat them!

[@suzieblair8089]

I can not tell you, how much I enjoy each and everyone of your videos. You have a way about you that makes you feel like your viewers are in your kitchen while you are baking or cooking. I also love how your wife is forever reminding you of stuff. I am the same with my husband. FYI, I freeze my buttermilk in 1/2 cups and put that into a sandwich zip bag, making sure it is really zipped and than lay the bags flat and stack them. I then put them into the freezer until I need them. Depending on how much buttermilk is called for in the recipe I am making I will take one or two bags out of the freezer and put those into the refrigerator overnight to thaw and then in the morning I take the bags out and let the buttermilk come to room temp along with all of the other ingredients. I have been doing this for years. The buttermilk might separate some, but you can shake it, I usually leave it alone and add it to the recipe as is. Just so you know, I am not a new cook or baker, I started doing those things when I was 10, I am now 73. Again, thank you both for this channel. suzie

[@comesitatmytable9044]

A chocolate recipe ? ❤❤❤❤❤This looks like a moist, delicious brownie. Hi Tom and Melissa. I absolutely love the history behind your recipes.😊

[@auntsuka530]

My sister gave me this recipe back in the 80s, when she moved to Texas. It is called Chocolate Flat Cake. The icing does not use, buttermilk, but evaporated milk instead. And, after putting the frosting on the cake, you put it back in the oven for five minutes to glaze. It makes it wonderful!

[@justsher123]

Yes that’s how we do the icing ( evaporated milk) I’m in Texas and we make this to bring to family gatherings.

[@nancym3659]

So nice you talked about your friends Becky and Bill and giving her credit for the recipe.❤️. My mother in law made this cake and gave us the recipe, her sister lived in Texas and she passed it on, it was ALWAYS a family fav! I lost the recipe, my mother in law has been gone many years, but she called it a Texas Dolly Cake😁! Thanks for the recipe, it’s soooo good!

I have heard that story pertaining to Lady Bird Johnson. It has to be a good cake if it originated from Texas. My mother was from Texas, and I lived in DFW area for the first ten years of my life. I'll be saving this one in memory of your friend Becky.

[@AngelsAware]

Beginning to get addicted to your channel!! My husband and I sit here in Indiana salivating while watching your video. My Mother used to call this cake the Buttermilk Cake. Her entire family was from KY. I make this same cake but in a 13x9 inch pan and have for almost 50 years. I agree anything cooked with buttermilk is absolutely delicious….beyond words with extra moistness. My husband is watching your crockpot casserole dish from the day after Thanksgiving last year 🤗🫣. Thank you for what you and your wife are doing for us 🙏🏻❣️

Back in the early 70s this was the most popular dessert at showers and birthday parties. It was known as Linda’s Sister’s Mother’s Chocolate Cookie Sheet Cake. I lost the recipe many years ago and I am so happy you are presenting it. Thank you ! One thing we did differently, we poked holes in the cake with a wooden spoon and then spread the frosting. I can’t wait to make this!

Such an All-American recipe- I think I’ll make it for July 4🇺🇸

[@kentvanhook1571]

My name is Kent, I'm 69 years old this June 15th. Thanks for posting this. I actually make a Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake as my base cake to make a Mississippi Mud Cake. I make the cake, then I top with marshmallows or marshmallow cream and then top with a chocolate frosting and sprinkle with nuts! ...And, if that wasn't enough, I pair it with Baskin & Robbins Rocky Road Ice Cream; theirs' is the darkest chocolate ice cream! Thank you so much for all y'all do! I love to watch your videos! I appreciate you so much!

[@CindyNavarro]

I was wondering if this cake is different from Mississippi Mud Cake. My aunt used to make that.

This brings back so many fond memories of family and church events. We often needed more than one person to bring this because it was so popular and everyone wanted second helpings!!

I have been eating that exact cake all my life. My mother's great aunt got that recipe from a newspaper in the late 50s somewhere. When she moved in with us in Del Rio in 1963, she would make that cake once a week. Brings back a lot of memories.

[@mariancrist5087]

I grew up in the midwest having this cake. I was taught to spread the frosting with the nuts in it......took forever. Now I sprinkle nuts over top of hot baked cake the frost it by drizzling the warm frosting over the nuts. Easy Peasy. Just make sure you don't cut a lot of the tip of the baggy off......you need a small opening to drizzle evenly over cake The heat from frosting and cake will help spread the frosting on its own.

[@janemartin229]

In 1999, my next-door neighbor passed away. Having recently had vocal cord surgery, I couldn't talk, but I sent this cake with my husband for the family. They raved about it and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I can understand how it could be called a funeral cake. It is comfort food and there are times when we really need some!

[@debbiezombro2839]

I don't believe I have ever had this chocolate cake dessert, I think it's time I do!❤❤

[@RedRuffinsore]

My family (in Texas) uses this exact recipe for the cake and the frosting except for one thing. We add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon to the cake mix. Sometimes called a Mexican chocolate cake due to the cinnamon.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

It can be hard to use up all the buttermilk if you aren't a fan of drinking it (which we are not). Freezing it like that is a really smart idea. We appreciate that you shared our ideas with us.

I think this must be the frosting my husband has always talked about his mother making. He & his brother said you could peel the icing off the cake in a layer. I would think that's because it's kinda like fudge. I'm really excited to try this. The sheet cake looks very simple to make too. Btw, I have this same kind of shield for my KitchenAid & I love it. Thank you, Melissa for always putting the recipe in the description box. It's so much better than having to go to a separate website. Bless you both.😊

Since I have a hard time finding buttermilk where I live, I use Saco Buttermilk Powder. I added 2 tablespoons of the powder to my dry ingredients and 1/2 cup water to the wet ingredients. Followed the recipe as you directed and it turned out great! Although I live in Buckley, Washington, I have great memories of Kentucky. My father was from Louisville. My husband was stationed at Fort Knox for 10 years so I had a chance to spend time with aunts and uncles. And my Aunt Ruth taught me how to cook. Your channel brings back a lot of fond memories.

This was such a lovely video - I really enjoyed his stories and his gentle method. Being a Texas-loving Canadian, I’ve wanted to try this cake for a while but thought it might be too much trouble.

@@tomwyant9297 I finally got a chance to watch it. Haha, I actually have some leftover buttermilk in my fridge looking for a use. Now I just need to find an occasion to make this for. I DO NOT DARE to make this without a plan in place to share it!! 😂😂

[@tomwyant9297]

Life is short, @@julieobrien4056. Go ahead and make the cake. Friends and family will come if you tell them it's baking. LOL!

We called this a Boiled Chocolate Cake. I lost my recipe and my girls won't give it to me because I am Diabetic. Thanks so so much. I would love to have a cook book when you write one. I sometimes put mini marshmallows on the cake before I ice it.

[@tomwyant9297]

I'm working feverishly on that cookbook. Who knew a cookbook would take so long to put together! I hope to have it available before the end of the year. Thank you for watching our videos and for your interest in our cookbook.

My mother-in-law, a Texan, shared this recipe with me 60 years ago and I have been making it ever since (I am 81 now). It never fails and people always compliment me on it.

[@comesitatmytable9044]

It’s so good. And your comment proves it is a tried and true recipe.

[@WaterfallFW]

Speak for yourself Tom saying you only want a thin layer of frosting. When I make it I make one and a half times the frosting because I always want more of that delicious frosting. 😂. This cake reminds me of two ladies I worked with in the “90’s. They each had their own recipe and story to this cake. Thank you for the throwback. I love this cake.

[@brendafields5701]

One of my favorite cakes.

[@carolnoe9037]

I love that sifter. My Mom has has this cake recipe for probably 30 years.

[@annapeel-tn6ih]

My mother made this every Thanksgiving and Christmas. When she passed I would make it (in a 9x13 pan. I kept making it until I realised my dad just couldn’t eat it and would get teary eyed. The recipe was in the Dallas Morning News.
