Chocolate Sheet Cake Recipe

I don't like Texas sheetcake, I think the last two times I have tasted an after taste or something.... I had to take a treat to tonight... so I searched the internet, and used the sheetcake pan mom gave me for it's purpose... I think I stand by Katie in liking pies and other such things better then cakes, but it's not bad... even brownies more...
