This IS the best chocolate sheet cake ever. And I’m not just saying that because it’s the only one I’ve ever eaten. It IS delicious. And super moist and oh so chocolatey.
I’m officially in love. With the cake, not the Pioneer Woman. Well, maybe PW, too.
If you don’t know who I’m referring to (laughing as I type that), here’s her site:
I visited her and the family earlier this year at her ranch in Oklahoma and we baked cupcakes and made cake pops for some guests. Actually, she made this chocolate sheet cake recipe then for the cupcakes we used. However, we made a different frosting to decorate with so I didn’t get to experience the full effect. I don’t know what took me so long to try her complete recipe. I’m kicking myself now. It’s so easy and pretty darn quick, too. You don’t even need a mixer. Nope. No mixer. But you do need a 12 X 18 jelly roll pan. I think that’s what deterred me a little. I kept picturing a 12 X 18 cake sitting on my counter. And, well… that’s a lot of cake.
But then, a couple of weeks ago I received a surprise from the UPS guy… or girl…
It was PW’s soon-to-be-released cookbook. I was so excited to see it. I got a preview of the cover back in March and here it was. Finished. Full of Pictures. And Full of Recipes.
Including her Chocolate Sheet Cake.
That settled it. No more procrastinating. Chocolate Sheet Cake here I come.
You’ll need 2 cups flour and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to start. Easy enough.
Then pour on the sugar. Two cups of the sweet stuff. I like how this is going.
Melt some butter. Two sticks. Thank you.
While it’s melting, stir together 1/2 cup buttermilk, two eggs, 1 teaspoon baking soda…
And add a little vanilla. A teaspoon to be exact.
Back to the butter. Drop in four heaping tablespoons of cocoa please.
Mix that all up.
Add a cup of boiling water and stir. Let bubble for just a minute and turn then off the heat.
Then pour that over your flour, sugar and salt mixture and stir it all together.
Add the buttermilk mixture and stir until it’s smooth.
Anyone having a little deja vous here? I kinda feel like PW right about now with all these step-by step photos. But really, I couldn’t resist posting all of these pouring shots.
See… here’s another one. Look at that batter. It’s glorious.
Place the pan in a preheated 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes. I did 18.
And while the cake is baking, you can make the icing.
Melt some more butter. One and 3/4 sticks this time. Add four more heaping tablespoons of cocoa and stir together.
Then add 6 Tablespoons milk and one teaspoon vanilla. Here’s the only thing I did differently. I didn’t have any milk. I know… that bites. So instead I used four tablespoons of evaporated milk mixed with two tablespoons of water. I could have gone all six evaporated, but I wanted to play it safe.
Add ONE POUND of confectioner’s sugar. Thank you again PW. This is definitely going in the right direction.
Mix that all up really, really good. You can also add a 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, but I didn’t have any of those either. And actually, I’m glad I didn’t. This cake was just the way I like it. Non-crunchy.
After the cake is baked , immediately pour on the good stuff. Work the icing all over the cake, so you’ll have less spreading to do. Those little lumps in the photo are just bits of confectioner’s sugar. If you don’t add nuts, you’ll have to stir this really good to get them all out or sift your sugar first. But who has time for that when this cake is waiting.
Let the cake cool completely. Just kidding. Just dig right in.
It was the…
Wait… I need another bite to make sure.
It was the…
Best chocolate sheet cake ever.
By the way, this 12 X 18 cake taking up space on the counter? Don’t even think twice about it. The cake won’t last that long.
Man, I really wish I had some milk right now.
The cake was so good, that I had to take a picture of it on this pedestal. Right where it belongs.
Make this cake. Now. Seriously.
Here is the full recipe from the Pioneer Woman to make things easier for you to follow.
Or you could go out and get a copy of The Pioneer Woman Cooks. However, I’m changing the title to The Pioneer Woman Bakes because she has no less than fifteen sweet recipes included in this thing. You might also like:
- Cinnamon Rolls
- Iny’s Prune Cake
- Buttermilk Biscuits
- Marmalade Muffins
- French Breakfast Puffs
- Maple Pecan Scones
- Perfect Pie Crust
- Patsy’s Blackberry Cobbler
- Flat Apple Pie
- Chocolate Sheet Cake
- Mocha Brownies
- Oatmeal Crispies
- Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
- Peach Crisp with Maple Cream Sauce
- Red Velvet Cake
- Plus … there’s all the real food
Here’s a peek inside.
But you don’t need to peek, because… guess what… I went to the store the same day this book was released and bought another copy to share.
That’s right. One for me and one for you. Well, one of you.

sharinlilbit(at)gmail(dot)com
Hey luv PW!! Bakerella you have to try her cinnamon rolls! Too die! Link here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/06/cinammon_rolls_/
This cake looks sooooo yummy. I love country cooking and would love to have this book being a country girl myself.
* Today was the first day I’ve been to Pioneer Woman’s website – I can’t WAIT to try some of her recipes. Thank you for the introduction!
* Please email me if I win-I reeeeally hope I do! kendalllcalvert@gmail.com.
I love your blog….and the pioneer woman too – thank you for bringing some YUM to my surfing
I have never tried any of her recipes, but I fully intend to go buy some flour and try that chocolate cake recipe tonight.
OMG!! You introduced PW to me when I read about you visiting the ranch earlier this year, and now I’m a frequent visitor to your blog and hers! *bows head in gratuity* Thanks a bunch for running the contest, Bakerella!
Yes, I love her cookbook too. My DIL and I were able to be at her launch party here in Tulsa. It was a grand event and I was so happy to see so many fans of PW here on her home turf. We went to a second signing on Friday at a boutique here in Tulsa. She really is a sweet person. I have made several of her recipes. All are wonderful. I like Aunt Iny’s prune cake but the best recipe to date would be the chocolate sheet cake. I have not met anyone who does not instantaneously fall in love with it on the first bite!
I love PW and I have tried a recipe or two.
I don’t have the cookbook yet, but would love to win one.
Got my shopping list ready…Chocolate Sheet cake for dessert on Tuesday! Would love her cookbook!
I watch the PW website and your website almost every day. Yes, I have tried many of PW’s recipes. At work one day we had a PW cook-off at lunch time. What fun! I tried her Rosemary Acorn Squash yesterday. It was good, of course.
I grew up with the chocolate sheet cake recipe. Two differences between hers and mine; no nuts in the icing and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in the cake batter. Try adding the cinnamon. Not overly cinnamon-y, just a hint. It is soooo good!
I love reading both PW and Bakerella! Her cinnamon roll recipe tutorial gave me the confidence to FINALLY go for it. So yummy!
I LOVE the BBQ Meatballs from March of 2009. You should try them.
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/03/bbq-meatballs-comfort-food-to-the-max/
I love that recipe and I cannot believe you have never tried it. At our house it is call Texas Sheet Cake and I prefer chopped walnuts on mine. Also our recipe includes a bit of cinnamon.
I could eat the whole cake by myself. It is super moist and irresistible. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I love how you just dug right in with a spoon!!!!!
I hope I win the cookbook. I don’t KNOW her, as in I’ve never personally met her, but I love, love, love her website.
Getting the cookbook might be the only thing to get me off the computer. I think my family might like that.
I love PW. I just made the chocolate sheet cake last week, and probably again this week! It just disappears :)
I’ve tried several of her recipes and love the Sun Dried Tomato Pasta Salad!!
I tried her Bacon Wrapped Cream cheese stuffed Jalapeno bites, and they were delicious! My husband who is Mexican and nothing is hot enough for loved them too! I would love to check out her cookbook, yummy!
Thanks for the tip about PW. I will have to check out her website. I think you should make the scones next. They sound delicious!!
This is my first time hearing about Ree, but I love new cookbooks and would love to win this one!
I would love another cookbook. My husband says that I have too many. But we all know you can never have too many cookbooks.
Who doesn’t love and want to be PW!!! I would LOVE to win her cookbook.
Try the cinnamon rolls. I’ve heard amazing things about them!!!!!!!
I love PW cooking (and yours too!) Her cinnamon rolls= amazing! So is her lasagna!
Would love, love the cookbook. I want to make the sheet cake because it made me drool. staci.carroll@hotmail.com
I made her Macaroni and Cheese. It was simply amazing. And I LOVE her site too.
There are so many things I’ve tried, but the two favorites are the Cannoli Cupcakes and the bacon wrapped club crackers with parmesan cheese. I’m a vegetarian, but I made those for a party. They were gone before the party even started. The guys just gobbled them down. When they finished those, they attacked the bacon wrapped jalepeno peppers.
I love the bacon wrapped jalepeno’s! I made a batch recently with crushed pineapple mixed in with the cream cheese… it was so yummy! Her recipe for a perfect steak is divine as well!
I love your site! your cake looks amazing, can’t wait to try the recipe for myself. ;) wiil definitly be visintg the pioneer woman website.
I loved the Tres Leche Cake – it is sooo yummy!
And the great thing about PW’s site… that is where I first seen the adorable cake pops!!
My mom makes a cake recipe very similar to this one. It’s always been my favorite. I request every year on my birthday.
The cookbook looks fabulous!
Hi Bakerella!
You did introduce me to PW back when you visited the ranch I have been a loyal follower ever since.
My favorite PW recipe thus far (planning on many, many more after I win her cookbook) is her bacon wrapped jalapenos! I could eat hundreds of them!
LOVE Pioneer Woman!! LOVE Bakerella!! LOVE chocolate sheet cake!! I am in glutton heaven!!!!
PS: I made your oreo truffles with orange-tinted coating for halloween (with little green tic-tacs for stems). They were a huge hit…so huge, in face there are none left for a picture. Shoulda taken it first. : \
I’ve tried dozens of her recipes and I love her Spinach salads
I’ve heard of her but never tried any recipes.
The cake looks deliciousssssssssssss.
I haven’t tried a recipe from Ree’s blog that I haven’t loved, but my all time favorite (and I don’t think it’s Ree’s recipe but she did make it) is stuffed mushrooms baby. If you haven’t tried them you really should.
I love PW’s site! The only recipe I’ve made so far is the Chicken Spaghetti, which is wonderful! Even my hubby likes it, and he’s not a casserole fan in general. This cookbook is on my Christmas wish list!
I would love to win a copy. I’d never checked out her website before, so thanks for pointing me in that direction! All of her recipes look so yummy.
I love PW! I actually just made her roasted acorn squash last week. It was YUM.
I love her site too :)
tjbachilds@verizon.net
I have enjoyed PW for over a year now I plan on getting a couple of her cookbooks for Christmas gifts this year.
Love PW! I have tried several of her recipes – delish! Would love to win her cookbook!
Just made her stir fry last night. Definitely one of my favorites. I also love the twice baked potatoes, the ranch dressing, and pretty much everything else she makes! It’s all good!
Goodness, Ree’s Ranch Chicken is the favorite at my house. Everyone clamors for it!!
i LOVE ree! her website is amazing and her posts are so hilarious. definitely the kind of down-home-baking mama i would want to be friends with.
her gold old fashioned chocolate chip cookies are SO good.. although i didn’t add the flaxseed… i’m so excited for her book!
I found you through PW! I’m a fellow Atlantan. =) I use PW’s recipes all the time and love them. I have marked several of yours to try too, but these days time is limited. Soon! I really want to make the 14 layer cake!
I, too, am in love with this cake. My other PW favorites are the Asian veggie and noodle salad (now my go-to healthy potluck dish!), pinto beans and cornbread and the MM sandwich. Going to make her skillet apple cake next; it’ll give me the perfect excuse to make cinnamon ice cream.
That cake looks stunning, I love checking in with PW!
Yummy
I love this sheet cake! I could eat the whole thing by myself (along with a gallon of milk)! I’ve been following PW’s website for over a year now and I love everything about it! I would really like to have her cookbook! Today’s my birthday and it would be a great present!
I so want this book, cuz my 7 krazy kids are tired of eating hamburger helper’s all to famous Tuna tetrazzinni..
thanks
Make the Marlboro Man sanwich!
I have fallen in love with her website, First time to yours and I bookmarked it also.
Love and Blessings, Debbie in Tennessee
Tried a few, but her apple dumplings are horrifyingly delicious and bad for you, all at once. As a result, you should make them immediately. :)
I love the PW! I’ve tried her raspberry cobblers and they were yummy!
Mmmm…life doesn’t get much better than chocolate cake! I would love to try out the PW’s recipes! Adding her site to my fav’s (right next to your’s of course) RIGHT NOW! Thanks Bakerella!
Have mercy – if you haven’t tried her Cinnamon Rolls I highly recommend them.
I made her chicken spaghetti last week. Very yummy! Will have to make the sheet cake this weekend. Her cookbook’s on my Christmas wish list!
I love The Pioneer Woman! and have tried several of her recipes (and don’t forget her ‘Black Heel’s story). My two favorite recipes are her chicken salad and ginger steak salad – mmmmm, my mouth is watering just thinking about it!
YUM! I would looove this cookbook :)
I love Ree Drummond. I HAVE to check her site every single day and not just the cooking part. I’ve made the chocolate sheet cake before but mine has cinnamon in it – which adds a little something else. I want to try her cinnamon rolls soon. They look so very good.
I absolutely love her spicy shrimp, It quickly became a quick easy dinner staple at my house. :)
I’ve heard of her, but never tried any of her recipies or even looked at one of her books! Thanks for sharing her cake with us! I can’t wait to get home and try it!
Thanks for the chance to win one of her new books! That’s so awesome of you!
Blessings!
~H
This sounds like one of the easiest chocolate sheet cake recipes I’ve ever read. Sounds like I’ve found a winner for my sister’s birthday!
Thankyou for introducing me to PW’s blog.
I’ve tried a few of the Pioneer Woman’s recipes on her website, but I love love love the cinnamon rolls especially. You should definitely try them!
If you’ve never had her apple dumplings you should. They are always a sure fire HIT especially with mens. I could go on and on about some of her recipes…Try them all!!
Oh how I wish I had butter in the house so I could make this right now! Sweets haven’t been appealing to me so far in T1, but oh my gosh, how I want some chocolate cake!! Glad to read it can be done in a 9×13 pan!
Try PW’s Tomato-Basil Pizza, the one made with Basil Pesto. It is amazing and has become a standard in our home.
I have heard of Pioneer Woman but have never had the opportunity to check out her site.
Immediately after seeing this cake i checked it out.
THANK YOU!
I love her site. Everything looks wonderful but the first thing I’m going to try is the chicken spaghetti…yum!
That chocolate sheet cake is the new birthday cake around here now!!! We also like her caesar salad and OMG – those crash potatoes are the best!!!!
Hinting for a PW cookbook for Christmas, using the logic that if the family likes a few PW recipies, they would love a lot of PW recipes!!!
Love your cakepops too!
Cheryl at cmartin02@sasktel.net
You MUST try her peppers stuffed with cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. So delish!
I recently made 2 of Ree’s recipes; Buttered Rosemary Rolls and Cinnamon Buns. I used the dough from her cinnamon bun recipe (halved), used half for cinnamon buns and the other half for her rolls. They’re were sooooo good!!! Hubby ate most of it already and out right refused to share with his buddy that came over yesterday!! lol
Hi! I have not tried any of her recipes…yet…but if I were to win this book that all would change very quickly! I’m thinking of starting with the chocolate cake.
To be honest, I didn’t realize that she HAD a recipie section! I usually stick to her photography area, but I love how yummy this recipie looks!
I’ve made many things from PW’s recipe page.The last one I tried was her gingersnap pumpkin caramel cheesecake for our canadian Thanksgiving and it was dee-lish!!!!!!!!!
Next I think I’ll try the sheet cake for my son as he’s officially Potty Trained……..Yay!!!
I am trying this recipe today!!!! We are chocolate cake lovers!!!! Thanks Bakerella for sharing this with us !
All of her recipes are awesome. I cook something from her site just about every week. If you want to try something sweet, then try the cinnamon rolls! They are a little slice of heaven! I made her chicken parm this past weekend and it was oh so good!!
I have some of PW’s recipes bookmarked to try but haven’t actually tried one yet. I just love reading her blog!
I LOVE Ree!! And you, too, Bakerella!!
I’ve made this delicious sheet cake of her’s and should do it again, soon, actually!! I’ve made several of her recipes…. jalepenos with the cream cheese, porkchops, anything dealing with potatoes!
I’d love to have a copy of her cookbook!! When are you coming out with your’s? :)
Her cookbook is definitely on my Christmas list! I can’t wait to peek into those pages. Have you tried her marinated flank steak? It’s delicious and I’m thinking it’s going on my shopping list today.
I have only tried one recipe, which I cant remember the name of, but I’m sure was delicious!
PW’s recipes are to die for!
Try her Crash Hot Potatoes recipe soon.
I love her Crash hot potatoes, and The Marlboro Man’s favorite sandwich….she rocks!
I have made P. W.’s sun dried tomato and mozzarella pasta salad and it was delicious. Tasted better the second day.
Please pick me. After all the stress of this weekend, I need that cake!
I have made tons of PW recipes.
The cinnamon rolls are even better than the chocolate cake!!!!
The onion straws, yummy!
love it all!
My mom and Grammy (and myself) have made this “Texas Sheet Cake” for years. We love it. It’s the best thing for a big ‘ole family get together or bbq!
Actually…through Pioneer Woman…I found you! And for that I am grateful!!
You both are awesome sauce in my book!!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Have a great week! :-)
Try the no-fail bread. It never fails! And it’s delicious. Yeasty deliciousness.
I love PW! I’ve tried her “best chocolate cake ever” (and, yes, it is!) and her Christmas cookies. Terrific, both of them!!
My husband loves me just a little bit more because Ree showed me how to cook a Ribeye steak! The lady knows how it’s done!
Oh, I LOVE PW! Check her website every day. I’m planning on trying her onion straws soon. Would love to win her cookbook. Sure would brighten my day :) Love you Bakerella!
Last week I made PW’s pumpkin spice muffins. So tasty! Next I want to try her apricot bars.
PW’s garlic cheese bread is awesome, but my favorite recipe is her Sigred’s Carrot Cake!
I tried her lasagna…delicious.
I’ve tried several of PW’s recipes and they are ALL yummers!! One in particular that I enjoyed immensely is the Blackberry Cobbler #1 — DELICIOUS!!
I haven’t made any of Ree’s recipes yet. I just drool over all the great food porn. Would love to check out her new cookbook though!
I made her cinnamon rolls. I think every time I even went past the kitchen I ate one. They did not last very long. I will use that recipe every time for cinnamon rolls. It was great!
I’ve made this cake and it is to die for! Thanks for the contest—this seems to be a wonderful cookbook and it would be terrific to have in my kitchen!
You MUST make the RANCH CHICKEN… tonight!!! It’s easy to make and oh so delicious!!! Mmmmmmmm!!!!
I would love to see the Breakfast Puffs! Yum! I love breakfast foods!
I am really looking forward to make the buttery rosemary rolls for Thanksgiving! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that this’ll work out!
My email is s exydynamite@gmail.com
i nearly fall off my chair every time i look at PW’s pics. even without making anything i feel that my weight has gone up!
but i would sooo love this book to impress my friends with my newly acquired cooking skills! (after and IF i get the book of course!)
thanks!!
I have made quite a few of her recipes, and they are always fantastic. I love the bacon wrapped jalapenos.
Looks like a great cookbook.
I love PW. I have only tried one of her recipes and I really don’t remember the name of it but it was with red potatoes. You boil them, squash them and season them, drizzle with Olive Oil and then bake them. They were yummy.
My sister in California turned me onto PW just this weekend and, as it turns out (how crazy is this?), PW lives less than an hour from me! I need this book! :o) thanks
I haven’t tried any of PW’s recipes; is that a deal-breaker? : ) I became aware of her through your blog and enjoyed the story of your visit to her ranch. Since then, it seems as though I keep running across references to PW and/or her blog, including a notice from Amazon that she was soon to release this book! So the cookbook has definitely been on my mind. I have two boys home w/colds today, so if I can summon the energy, I will go bake them the sweet treat you’ve introduced today.
I love Pioneer Woman. I have used a lot of her recipes and love them all. Yummy…….
I’ve made her pancakes a couple of times. My family loves them!!
French Breakfast Puffs!!! I have tried several of PW’s recipes and my family hasn’t been disappointed yet, BUT – French Breakfast Puffs are what you need to try next! And my secret ingredient (which I think I got from the comments on that recipe) is to peel and grate one apple and mix it into the batter… mmmmm apple puffs :)
Her Chocolate Sheet Cake is amazing, but her Cauliflower Soup is one of my favorite dishes for this time of year. I can’t stop eating it!
I made rolls for Thanksgiving last year using one of her recipes and they were delicious! I would love a copy of her cookbook.
I have! I was turned on to her site from smitten kitchen and promptly tried her Ranch Chicken – amazing! Love her site and her recipes.
I’ve tried the MM Sandwich and the Penne Ala Betsy…and a bunch of her potato recipes, yummy!
I would love a copy of her book! I’ve made her cinnamon buns and one batch lasts about one hour in this house! Definately worth a try!
This cake looks divine!!!!! I cannot wait to try it out.
The pictures alone killed me. :)
Email me if I win at delicatesilence@yahoo.com!
Unfortunately I have yet to make one of her recipes; I do very much enjoy her site however. My sister plans ot make her apple pie for thanksgiving. I’m pretty excited about that. :) I also want to try her lasagna sometime.
Thanks for introducing me……I am so excited about baking the chocolate sheet cake! YUM!!!!! I can’t wait until I WIN the cookbook! I love new cookbooks…and all that you listed sounds yummy!
Thanks for having this giveaway, Bakerella! I love Ree’s website…I want to try her Chocolate Truffles with Sea Salt that she posted about last week. I also like her cinnamon rolls and Roasted Garlic and Potatoes.
Hello
Im from Portugal and just love you place
I neves heard about the site about pioneer woman and o heard about them allready
That cake looks very delicius i will try for sure
I will love to win one of that books, will you send that to Portugal if i win???
You must search about Portuguese sweets they are wonderful
Thanks for all
Love Patricia (patricia.reinaldo08gmail.com)
I love her smashed potatoes! And Cowboy bites! Yum! And just about everything else she has ever made. I t hink you should try her carrot cake next!!
it’s all about those bacon jalepeno thingys. Tasty!
I’m at home w/ my eight year old son who has the Swine Flu…oh how I would love PW book to bake/cook while we’re confined! :)
My favorite recipe is her cinnamon rolls. I make them almost every weekend!
I also like her pot roast recipe because she doesn’t do potatoes in with the roast — just the carrots. Yummmy!
Where do I begin my list of stuff of P-dub’s amazing recipes I’ve made.
Her lasagna, betsy’s penne, her mashed potatoes (with cream cheese in them), her dinner rolls, her pie crust is the only one i’ll use now, fluffy new potatoes, i attempted sushi after she did (it turned out to be a disaster for me), her bbq meatballs, mac and cheese…
I make Pastor Ryan’s Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp all the time, except I’m a wuss so I cut the cayanne in 1/4…and its still on the spicy side for me. lol. but its sooo delish!
And I’m sure theres more. And I’ve definitely got my list of things to make soon as well. Maybe I should do like Julie and Julia and cook/bake my way through both of your websites.
That should keep me busy.
Pioneer Woman helped me trick my boyfriend into thinking I could cook, just as you’ve helped me trick him into thinking I could bake! My favorite recipe from this year is her simple pan fried pork chops, delicious!!
Wow! I’m dying to have this book in my hands!! I love Pioneer Woman’s blog and have tried two of her recipes so far. Both were fantastic! I really like the Mashed potatoes with garlic…
Thanks for the giveaway! :)
The Rosemary-Onion Bread with Blue Cheese topping – amazing. Matches well with a butternut squash soup.
I have not tried any of her recipes, but definitely will be trying this one! And hopefully more… :)
I haven;t tried this cake … yet. You should try thy fircracker shrimp tho… not a baking thing but it’s easy and my fam loved it…oh and also the shrimp quesadillas…. can’t remember the official name.
I like her stuffed mushrooms.
The next one I am going to try is her stuffed mushrooms with Brie from today’s post! :-)
Hi! This cake looks delicious. I’ll definitly try to make it. And of course I went to the PW site and already I’m following her blog.
Tks for the tip and bye!
Lily
A must are her apple turnovers. So easy to make and delicious (although I use a little less sugar and ginger ale instead of Mtn. Dew). I think my daughter’s new boyfriend is in love with me after making them recently when he visited.
YES – I’ve tried 3 of PW’s recipes so far (and I’ve only been visiting her site for a couple of weeks): Chicken Parmigian, Pasta alla Marlboro Man (my hubby wants a bit more sauce) and the Bacon, Onion & Cheddar biscuits. All easy to make, no gourmet ingredients to try to track down (or to try to figure out what it is) and DELICIOUS!
I’ve been reading Ree’s blog for several years and tried some of recipes. I love love love the chocolate sheet cake but don’t make it very often because I would want to consume the entire pan in one sitting, ALL BY MYSELF!!!
I love your creations — they put a smile on my face!
Found YOU from PW – so I’m thanking her even though my Spider Bites were a moderate failure.
My favorite? They’ve all been winners – Mac N’Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Rosemary Onion Blue Cheese bread, the list goes on.
I have not tried any of her receipes but her apple pie looks so yummy!!
Jessi
Jessirenae485@aol.com
I lOVE her!! I SO want that book! I’ve tried some of her recipes. My fave was the Individual Raspberry Cobblers (so far). Except I used blueberries… so good and a big hit at our church.
bephotography@ymail.com
ps I just found your site not too long ago and I ADORE it :)
I didn’t read the comments before gathering the link for what we make… but I see it’s in two of the three comments previous to mine… we make the Bacon-Wrapped Jalapeno Thingies. Frequently. :)
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2007/07/bacon-wrapped_j/
I haven’t had a chance to try any of PW recipes but I do get to thank you for introducing me to PW. I came your site looking for easy class BDay party recipes (Hellooo Lollies ! ) and stumbled on PW’s in the process. i know come back to both blogs regularly. So, cheers!
Yummy!
Please enter me for a chance to win.
Thanks!
Pastor Ryan’s Pasta Carbonara has become a staple around here. But if it’s a PW only recipe you want, try the hot wings! They are sublime!
I made Roasted Acorn Squash with Rosemary yesterday. My husband, who hates squash, ate almost the entire bowl before he actually asked me what he was eating. It was delicious!!
I’ve tried her’s and your recipes – love them…and would absolutely LOVE a recipe book! Wish her book trip was coming to Las Vegas :(
I want one!!
I’ve tried several of her recipes and I’ve never once been disappointed. You’re right, that chocolate sheet cake is the best. So are her cinnamon rolls, french breakfast puffs, apple cake in a skillet, and on and on!
I love the Pioneer Woman!! I’ve tried her cinnamon rolls and would love to try this chocolate cake!! If I don’t win, I’m going to have to buy this cookbook for sure! Thanks!
I haven’t yet, but I’m itching to try the rolls she recently blogged about. nOthing beats warm, doughy bread, lightly salted w/ butter!
I would love a copy of the PW cookbook. The sheet cake you made looks so good!
I want one! :)
I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have plans to make her buttered rosemary rolls this week, but I am intimidated by how gorgeous they are and hope mine look even remotely close. :-)
I would love a copy…I have tried some of her receipe’s they are great….
I make this same cake… but my recipe is called Texas sheet cake. I agree it is DELICIOUS!!
I love PW.
Love PW and her website! So many wonderful recipes to try! Tasty Kitchen is great too! So far, Crash Hot potatoes are our favorite! Try them!!
I’m virtually gaining 10lbs from this post. I now need a chocolate fix.
I made her pinto beans, with a little variation because 1. I never follow a recipe exactly how it is, have to put my twist on it and 2. I didn’t have the seasoning she used. They turned out delicious. It’s a good season for that kind of meal

I love Pioneer Woman! I’ve made a TON of recipes from her site. I’m in love with her mashed potatoes. And Heaven help me it’s getting time to make them again! Yee-Haw…
What recipe haven’t I tried?.I love the Pioneer Woman and would love to get her cook Book. Some of my favorites are her Crash Hot Potatoes and Her Apple Dumplings.Sooo Good.
Ree is so cool! I really want to try her Chocolate Truffles with Sea Salt that she posted last week. But her cinnamon rolls and roasted garlic potatoes are delicious! I really hope I win her cookbook! :)
This looks so yummy! I can’t wait to try it!
I made her Roasted Garlic and New Potatoes last night. Amazing!

I made some potatoes from her site not too long ago – they were amazing!
I love your site! I have not been following Pioneer Woman regularly but I am going to bookmark her blog right now! I always love finding new recipes and this one sounds amazing. If I hadn’t just gone on a cupcake and cookie baking bender for Halloween (plus the bowl of leftover candy calling my name) I would bake it right now! YUM!
All of the recipes are fabulous, but the one I trot out the most is Sigrid’s Carrot Cake. It’s ridiculously good.
Glad to know about her through your blog. Hope i can try her recipe soon. The chocolate cake looks sooo good!
I love PW and her food.
Last i tried was chicken parmiggiana.. delicious!
I actually haven’t tried any of her recipes yet. I’m so ashamed! I read her blog everyday, though. Would love this cookbook!
I have made her strawberry shortcake cake a few times and always get rave reviews for it!! Yummy!
I have tried many of her recipes and they ALL rock! I am SUPER excited about this cookbook and think everyone should own a copy :)
I soooo need a copy.
Love PW!!! I’ve tried a few of her recipes. I love her love story too.
I’ve been dying to try the chocolate sheet cake recipe but just haven’t gotten around to it. If I get the cookbook I promise I’ll make it! :)
Yes, I try almost all her recipes. Thanks for sharing.
I absolutely love THE PIONEER WOMAN!!! I just came across her website a few weeks ago & am hooked in a big way. Baked her pumpkin muffins last night & they were delicious! Trying her rosemary rolls tonight. THANK YOU for a chance to win her cookbook. I’ll be going to her book signing in St. Louis in a couple of weeks. Can’t wait to meet her!
I have tried several recipes of PW’s. The one I keep going back to is the spicey shredded pork….great for carnitas and so easy to make for a big get together.
I’ve made several of PW’s recipes: the orange muffins, her killer cheesy garlic bread, and one of her breakfast casseroles; i’ve tried others as well and with the exception of 1, all have been great!
I have tried her Marlboro Man’s second favorite sandwich! I agree – she has some great recipes!
It didn’t include it, so just in case I do win, my e-mail is mrsdavis728@gmail.com
I think you should try the Pumpkin Whoppie Pies w/ Cream cheese filling. I just tried making the Cake Pops this weekend for Halloween. It wasn’t that messy making them but coating them w/ the candy coating . I just did get the tops covered right. I then rolled them in Halloween sprinkles. My family seamed to enjoy them because there gone.
I love PW and have tried many of her recipes. I really want to try the Olive Cheese bread!
I love PW. I make the chocolate sheet cake regularly, but I have not tried any of the other ones you have listed yet. I can’t wait to try the pineapple upside down cake!
I love that cake. I made it the other day for a small group of women. I usually come back with half the cake for my husband. This time I only had a small 4 inch strip left. My husband was very diappointed. :o)
I was sitting and stewing over what to do. Left over Halloween candy just wasn’t doing it for me. When I logged on to check email and my answer was in your review of the Pioneer Womans chocolate cake! I never heard of her before. I immediatley checked out her website. It was loaded with fun stuff. Thanks for introducing it to me and better yet, giving me something to make!!
I LOVE her smashed potatoes … absolutely amazing!
I LOVE PW!!! I want her cook book so bad!!!

I want to thank you for introducing me to PW back when you did cake pops with her. I haven’t had the chance to actually make any of her recipes but I told my mom about her blog and she became a fan and has made a couple of her casserole recipes which are so yummy. I can’t wait to see her cookbook though and of course all the beautiful photographs. I love learning about how to shoot better photos from her.
Steak bites and Olive Bread!!!!! I love steak bites and my family goes nuts for the Olive bread.
