Decadent Delight: Texas Turtle Sheet Cake Recipe

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. Prepare the Cake Batter:
    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until well combined.
    • In a saucepan, combine the butter, water, and cocoa powder. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
    • Once the mixture comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and pour it over the dry ingredients in the mixing bowl. Stir until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, mix together the lightly beaten eggs, buttermilk, baking soda, and vanilla extract. Gradually add this mixture to the chocolate batter, stirring until well combined and smooth.
  3. Bake the Cake:
    • Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
    • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
    • Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the frosting.
  4. Make the Frosting:
    • In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the milk and cocoa powder, whisking until smooth.
    • Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the frosting is thick and smooth.
    • Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the frosting.
  5. Frost the Cake:
    • Once the cake has cooled slightly, pour the warm frosting over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
    • Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes before drizzling the caramel sauce over the top of the cake.
    • Sprinkle the chopped pecans over the caramel sauce, evenly distributing them across the surface of the cake.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    • Slice the Texas Turtle Sheet Cake into squares and serve it warm or at room temperature.
    • This indulgent dessert is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a family gathering, potluck, or special celebration.
