The sheet cake is AMAZING! Just like my mom's! There is nothing better!! I ended up using a jelly roll pan so, my cake was slightly thicker. But your frosting recipe was a failure! I checked on my cocoa box and it said. 1 stick butter, 1/4 cup cocoa, 6 TABLESPOONS milk, 4 cups powdered sugar. So check your frosting recipe it may be wrong.

    What a nice recipe. So easy to make; tasty and moist. I didn't have any buttermilk on hand so substituted with 1/2 c whole milk and 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar and it worked just fine. I got 16 good-sized servings out of it. Thank-you so much!
