Grandma Ruthie's Texas Sheet Cake

My grandma isn't from Texas but luckily she knows how to make this delicious chocolate cake! It's easy to make and feeds a lot of people. - Shawn

First, ask an adult if you can use the oven! An adult should be in the kitchen while you are making this. You'll need a special pan called a jelly roll pan for this cake. It's kind of lie a cookie sheet, only a little deeper. Grease it and flour it. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Stir into mixing bowl: 2 cups flour 2 cups sugar

Put into a pan and bring to a boil: 4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa 1 cup water 1/2 cup shortening 1 stick margarine

Then pour it into the mixing bowl over the flour/sugar mixture.

Add: 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 cup buttermilk 1 teaspoon vanilla

Pour the batter into the jelly roll pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. To check if it's done, put a toothpick in the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready to come out of the oven.
