3 Times in 9 Days

I've made the same dessert three times in nine days.

I made it last Sunday when some friends invited us over for dinner.

I hadn't made it for a while, and we all REALLY enjoyed it.

This past Sunday (yesterday), for dinner with different friends, Billy requested it again.

We enjoyed it some more.

Today, Billy asked me to make it for the residents he's worked with this past month.

So here you go! How many times will you make it in nine days?


(Thanks for the recipe, Carol. We couldn't have done it without you!) :)



Texas Sheet Cake

Cake:
2 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups flour
1 cup butter
1 cup water
4 tablespoons cocoa

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease cookie sheet (17x11x3/4). Cream together first six ingredients. Bring to boil remaining three ingredients (butter, water and cocoa). Add at once to flour mixture. Bake for 20 minutes.

Icing: (Begin making icing when cake is in oven.)
1/2 cup butter
6 tablespoons milk
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 lb. powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Bring butter, milk and cocoa to boil. Add powdered sugar to chocolate in large mixing bowl and mix. Add vanilla. Fold in nuts. Spread on cake as soon as it comes out of the oven.

Doesn't it look yummy? It is. Don't you wish you lived closer to me? Come on down! :) (Or just enjoy a little bit of Texas where you are and make it yourself.)
