Every time I take a pan of these to a picnic, it comes back clean! At home, they disappear as fast as I can stir them. My husband and I are farmers. we have five grown children (youngest was just married) and three grandchildren.

I reviewed before...Here's how to make this recipe perfect: Use heaping tablespoons of cocoa where called for. And for the frosting, use 6T buttermilk and only 3-1/2 cups powdered sugar. Then it will pour on nicely instead of having to be spread an maybe not looking as nice. You know, I also reduced the butter in the cake by 1/3 once and it seemed just fine.

These are incredibly moist. The combination of chocolate and buttermilk is just right. I fixed these for a potluck at church and came home with an empty serving platter!

Turned out great - made for a birthday and all was gobbled up. I would try 1 more T of buttermilk in frosting as I had to sort of spread it/pat it around.

We call this Texas Sheet cake at my house. While the cake is baking you can make the frosting and put it on warm
