Texas Sheet Cake

I (Kara) am sure everyone has had Texas sheet cake before, but... have you tried it using Gourmet Ramstadt-Breda Rich Dark Cocoa powder! Wow! I did not think the type of coca powder really mattered, but my friend recently got me this for my birthday so I had to give it a try. The cake was richer and more chocolatey than normal. You can buy this product at their website www.preparedpantry.com. 

P.S. I am not being paid to talk about this product, I just really really loved it! O, and in case you don't have a Texas sheet cake recipe here you go!
