Texas Sheet Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting is a decadent, moist and rich! Covered in homemade peanut butter frosting that pairs perfectly with this luscious chocolate cake!
My family also loves to pair this up with vanilla ice cream, If you are one to worry about calories and fat content this recipe isn’t for you, enjoy life!
Its made from scratch, even the frosting… and only takes a few simple ingredients to create one of the best cakes you’ll ever try!
This is my favorite sheet cake recipe of all time.
You can change it in so many ways to different delicious versions… To make a white sheet cake: delete the cocoa and add 1 tsp vanilla extract to the cake!
I love that I always have all the ingredients on hand, right in my kitchen! No rushing to the supermarket for some obscure ingredient.
You can add in any of your favorite nuts to the cake or the frosting if you’d like- I have used walnuts and pecans before, both are wonderful additions!
It’s always moist, ultra flavorful and all-around decadent cake. I used Hersheys cocoa, and I probably tossed in a bit more than my written recipe here calls for (more chocolate is always better, right??) Feel free to increase some if you like it super chocolatey! The results are always perfect. My family loves being able to cut, grab, and go… no plate or silverware necessary 😀
