Another Chocolate Sheet Cake

In the Chocolate Sheet Cake Post I wrote a week or 2 ago, I talked about another cake recipe that I grew up on and was still hands down my favorite chocolate sheet cake. I got the recipe from my aunt this weekend so I wanted to share it with you guys. I havent had a chance to make it this week cause I am making some desserts for a birthday party Friday night, but as soon as I do Ill update with some photos. I will say it looks a lot like the one here, but just slightly different amount of ingredient and the addition of cinnamon.
