Hmm..I'm confused! The recipe is exactly the one I was looking for - the only difference being I do not use the nuts, I make my coffee *strong*, I do add 1 tsp of cinnamon to frosting and sometimes to the cake, and I poke holes in the cake with the end of a wooden spoon before pouring the frosting.

This was very good, and I received lots of compliments on it. I was looking for a little more of the coffee/mocha taste, so I think next time I will use much STRONGER coffee (I used just plain brewed regular for drinking). I didn't work fast enough with the frosting and it started to set up a little before I got it spread good (kinda tore up the cake a little too)... so next time I think I will stir in the conf sugar right on the stove top and use a hand held mixer in the pan (I used my stand mixer this time, probably got too cool). I think I may add a little instant coffee to the frosting too? maybe? not sure... Over all a good recipe!! Thanks for sharing!

My friends frequently ask for this cake. They call it my "crack" cake because they say it is so addicting. Hazelnut or French Vanilla coffee work really well and give the cake a very nice flavor and the sour cream gives it a nice, moist texture.

This is yummy! I have made Texas sheet cake in the past but a different recipe. I think the coffee brings out the chocolate taste and it is fabulous!

This recipe is good. I could taste the coffee and did not feel it belonged. I also tried the reviewer's suggestion of cinnamon, maybe 1/2 tsp. would be better than 1 tsp. Over all, people liked it.

Fantastic recipe! I've made Texas Sheet Cake for years, but decided last night to try out this recipe - I'm throwing out my old one! Everyone at the church dinner raved about this. Thank you!

Wonderful! The only thing I was nervous about was, I had a 12x17 pan. It worked fine. My girlfriend had always talked about making a Texas Sheet Cake. I looked up the recipe. She asked me if I wanted her's, I declined the offer and made this recipe, instead. Wow. That's the only word that comes to mind.

My cake turn out very good and moist. This is one of the best cakes I've made and my kids loved it. If your cake don't turn out moist you didn't follow the directions. Keeper in my box.
