G.G.'s Chocolate Sheet Cake

My wife and I were attending a potluck this weekend and we decided to have a dessert off. She made red velvet cupcakes and I made a chocolate cake. I wanted to win naturally. so even though chocolate cake is not at the top of my desserts that I enjoy I found a recipe with lots of great reviews. You can find the recipe here: GG's Chocolate Sheet Cake

It turned out pretty good. As the comments suggested I added an extra tablespoon of cocoa powder in the cake and icing. The pecans did add a nice texture contrast, but this can be achieved with your favourite nut, doesn't have to be pecans. It was pretty easy to make as well, which was a bonus. It was well received and I will be making this again in the future I am sure.

Enjoy!
