Do you have a white cake and chocolate icing recipe for a quarter sheet pan? Would love to make it this weekend.

Because the extra few inches of metal on the sides reflects more heat in the oven. It also blocks air circulation during the baking process. There’s a reason certain recipes use certain pans. You can try it and let me know how it works. But I don’t want to recommend something that might fail. My goal is to create recipes that work with bakeware that guarantees success. If you want to experiment in your own kitchen, please do.

It still has the same proportions for the cake to bake in – it just won’t come up to the top of the pan.

Made it last night and brought me back to remembering how delish and simple this is! Perfect size! I also like to toast either walnuts or pecans and toss the chopped nuggets on right after the icing is poured! Adult children devoured!

Too much flipping around. Otherwise pretty good.

I made this recipe twice within a two week span, for two different families because it is so simple AND delicious! I took meals to them and the cake was for dessert. One lady and her 11 year old daughter requested the recipe. The daughter sought me out just to tell me how good it was! It’s a good size for a single family instead of the full size sheet cake! Thank you for sharing this size! I’m sure I will make it many more times in the future!

I’ve been a life-long Texan for almost half a century and had never made a Texas sheet cake until today. This recipe is perfect!! The hardest part is waiting the 30 minutes to have the first piece! I was a little short on the butter that the icing called for, so I reduced the powdered sugar a bit (to one and a half cups) and it was perfect!! I will definitely be making this again and again, and this is the perfect size for my family of 3! I have downsized to a mini oven that won’t fit much more than a quarter sheet pan, so this is great! Thank you, thank you!

Hi there. I don’t know what you mean. This recipe does not call for 2 sticks of butter in the icing. 7 tablespoons is less than 1 stick (1 stick = 8 tablespoons). Did you accidentally add 2 whole sticks of butter for the icing? yikes.

I realized later this one using one stick of butter for the cake and two sticks for the icing—which is the reverse of my original recipe. This made the icing super greasy. I’ll switch back to the original which I much prefer.

Scroll to the bottom with the recipe card. There is a button that says ‘print recipe.’

In our family it has become known as Mamaw’s chocolate cake because it’s her go to cake.
I made it for my kids and now I make it for my grandkids. It is my go to chocolate cake too.

Best ratio of cake to frosting is his comment!
