TEXAS CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GANACHE FROSTING
This classic American cake will feed a crowd, although my husband and I had no trouble
finishing it over a few days. He liked
the denser version once chilled and I liked the slightly fluffier/more cakey version with the Creamy Ganache frosting (can nuke a chilled slice)). Delicious!
Extremely addictive and the chocolate zooms a person, so that one gets
lots done.
