CHEF COMMENTS
It may happen when you are baking the cake that the sides will rise up and spill over the side of the pan. That is normal but won\'t always happen. Pour the icing on the cake when the cake is still warm but the cake can be cooled.

This has to be the best recipe for Texas Sheet Cake I have ever seen! The nestle quick is lighter than traditional unsweetened chocolate powder so the cake is lighter and fluffier. The fudge icing has to be one of the best things I have ever had and witht pecans in it it's wonderful! Thanks Victoria!

The cake was an absolute hit at a family potluck. I used 3TBSP. for 3 cubes. The cake was perfect. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Haven't tried this yet but "cubes" must mean "sticks" because look at the amount of sugar and flour. Could the 5 eggs (three more than you usually see for this cake) make up for the lack of a fat-based binder?
