Texas Sheet Cake Recipe

Here is the recipe many of you were asking me for this weekened! It will take me too long to email everyone individually, so I thought I would post it to my blog and link it to facebook. :)

This is by far our (both Scott and I) most favorite cake of all time. I am requested to make this for most holidays and parties we attend! I have to give thanks to my mother-in-law who gave me this recipe years ago!
