HOW TO MAKE SCOTCH CHOCOLATE SHEET CAKE



PRO TIP: I love to line my sheet pans with parchment paper and spray the sides with non-stick spray. This helps so much when serving.

HOW TO STORE LEFTOVERS? CAN I MAKE THIS AHEAD?
I don't think I have ever made this cake and come home with left overs. Which, while is a huge compliment to the cake itself, it's kind of depressing for one who might like a little leftover cake :) On several occasions guests will just "take a small piece," cause ya know, they are "not a cake person" and end up eating two or three fairly large slices.
If you want to save these, or make it ahead of your event you totally can. Just either store it in an air tight container or cover your sheet pan with plastic wrap securely.
I'm completely obsessed with this enameled jelly roll pan! I've been testing it out on all sorts of recipes and it bakes awesome! As well as its beautiful AND cleans up like a dream. seriously, a wonderful dream.

Huh. I am from Texas and this is the recipe my family has used for the past 60+ years as Texas Sheet Cake, cinnamon, buttermilk, warm frosting, and all.
