chocolate sheet cake

This recipe was given to me at my wedding shower. It is from a sweet lady that was known for bringing it to our church potlucks and it disappearing very quickly! All of the brides-to-be would receive this recipe as a gift along with a sheet cake pan. It mixes up so quickly, stays moist for a long time and makes a lot. We had it with a scoop of mint chip icecream after our St. Patrick's Day meal. Yum!
