How to make texas sheet cake:

While baking prepare icing.Icing:1/2 c. margarine6 Tbsp. milk4 Tbsp. cocoa1 lb. powdered sugar Bring to boil margarine, milk and cocoa. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar and beat with electric mixer for 2 minutes. Immediately after taking cooked cake out of the oven, while cake is still hot, pour frosting mixture on top of cake and spread.

Optional: Top with walnut pieces. I place them at the approximate area where the cake will be cut into pieces. Makes a pretty display. For a party cut cake and put into cupcake liners. Makes about 48 pieces (8 cuts on the long side and 6 on the short side).
