TRADITIONAL TEXAS SHEET CAKE
For this recipe, it's best to use the 10x15-inch baking sheet as specified in the recipe, as Texas Sheet Cakes are supposed to be flat. You won't get a good result if you use a smaller baking pan in order to get a taller cake. Texas Sheet Cakes serve a large number of people, so it's a great choice for potluck parties.
