This chocolatey taxes sheet cake recipe is the best! I could eat the entire pan myself over a day or two not even kidding! I love making homemade desserts. They taste so much better than store bought and you know they where made with lots of care.
Word down at the Saloon is even cowboys made this on the ranch as a delightful treat. Passed down generations and now a part of my homestead this recipe is sure to please.
