      I saw Stella Parks's post about Texas Sheet Cake (a favorite dessert of Mike's), so I'm posting the link here:

      https://www.seriouseats.com/2018/05/texas-sheet-cake-forever.html

      She's a pastry chef, so her recipe is naturally a bit fussier than the one to which Mike has posted a link. Mike outdoes her in my opinion because he doubles the frosting recipe!

        That's a very different recipe from the one that mine is based on, which seems have been moved to this URL: Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake

        The batter is much thicker and the frosting uses regular sugar and milk rather than powdered sugar and buttermilk. Not gelatinizing the flour by pouring the hot butter/cocoa/water on it would change the texture a lot, too.

        If you search for Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake, there are a number of different recipes. Some of them use Dr. Pepper in the batter, which would be a very Texas-like thing to do.
