YEE-HAW! 🤠

Ready to bake a Wild West recipe?

This chocolatey taxes sheet cake recipe is the best! I could eat the entire pan myself over a day or two not even kidding! I love making homemade desserts. They taste so much better than store bought and you know they where made with lots of care.

Word down at the Saloon is even cowboys made this on the ranch as a delightful treat. Passed down generations and now a part of my homestead this recipe is sure to please.

I hope it doesn't taste like sheet.

Depends on the cook 😂

I'm not sure if I'm ready to call myself a sheet cook. But it might be true.

That looks like a very good recipe, I love Texas sheet cake. I don't make it due to fact I would eat it all.

😂 I did within two days when I made this lol
