Recipe Thursday - Sheet Cake aka Brownies Texas Style


My family loves this recipe and my mom used to make it for every single get-together except Christmas when we had Christmas cookies and for birthday celebrations when we had white cake and fudge icing. I guess I will be the one making it now although I think every single member of our family knows the recipe.

Mix in bowl:
2 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup sour cream

Bring to boil:
2 sticks oleo
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 cup water

Do not cool - pour into flour mixture and beat well. Pour in greased cookie sheet 11 x 17 x 3/4 inch or jelly roll pan. Bake 350 degrees for 20 minutes, no longer. Frost while warm.

1 box powdered sugar
1 cup chopped nuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
