    Because you frost the cake while it is still warm, this makes for an easy cake. Fudge frosting set up nicely and made the cake even more delicious the next day. Roasted pecans on top were good, but try using m&ms instead of nuts next time to make it more appealing to kids. Used a 9x13" pan and cake was fully baked at 25 minutes. Might try shaving a minute or two off baking time.

    Great for large crowds - I think of it as the homemade version of the old Little Debbie Frosted Brownies and add mini-M&Ms on top.

    I'd never had this cake before so I didn't know what to expect. It was easy to make and everyone liked it, but the chocolate flavor is fairly light (I believe that's how this cake is supposed to be), so I liked it, but didn't love it.

    Note, the author's website indicates the following about cooking times. (We didn't have problems cooking around the specified time though.) Page 22- that delicious moist Texas Sheet Cake recipe tells you to bake the cake for 32-35 minutes…Don’t do it! 22-25 minutes should do the trick.

    Overall, this was an easy crowd-pleaser best made for large groups. My husband made this for a BBQ- the kids gobbled it up, but preferred the section he had left unadorned with hazelnuts. The cake was really moist, and all things considered not "too" sweet. (The frosting didn't set quite as much as Texas sheet cakes from my past- probably because of the sugar content, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just not what I was expecting.) The chocolate flavor was not very deep, so it might be worth playing around with adding coffee if you want something with a richer chocolate taste.
