Chocolate Sheet Cake I

by 247tasty

This is a simple old school chocolate cake that’s been around for ages. It’s moist and very chocolatey! It is easy to make and everyone’s crazy about it! You are welcome to put pecans and walnuts in the homemade chocolate frosting, it’s delicious! I will be making this again soon and I will try to put some chocolate chips in it and a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Scrumptious!
