Chocolate Sheet Cake
Submitted by Deborah Bouziden

This recipe is one that has been in my family for as long as I can remember. As a matter-of-fact, I loved this cake so much, when I was 7, I ate over half of it myself and wound up sicker than a horse. I was spending the night with my aunt and uncle. My uncle who gave me anything I wanted, vetoed my aunt's objections and told me I could have as much as I wanted. I learned quickly that limitations can be beneficial.
