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.

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.

I must confess I haven’t tried any recipes yet, but my wife has. The Sleepin’ In Omelette is one of the best!
I follow Ree’s blog. I’ve baked her jalapeno poppers, prune cake(was not like prunes at all), cinnamon rolls…now I want to do her best ever chocolate cake!!
Oh, I love PW! I told my husband I want this book for Christmas, but have long decided I’m not going to be able to wait until December to have it!
We just had her mom’s cauliflower soup for supper; love her painted cut-out Christmas cookies, cast iron apple cake and the best of all…her apple dumplings. AMAZING recipes all around! And to top it all off, her blog is where I “met” you!!!
hi – i’ve tried many! the sherried tomato soup is one of my favorites though! thanks!
I have tried this recipe, took it to tail gating for an ASU football game. I have tried other recipes on her site as well as the Tasty Kitchen – beef enchiladas – yum yum. Also, took those to a ASU game. That really isn’t all we do but those recipes came to mind. Love your site.
Just awesome! Thanks for thinking of me!
Love Pioneer Woman!! Her pot roast is to die for – simple changes that make so much difference! Crash potatos – whole family loves! Chocolate cake – you’ll be in chocolate heaven!
I have tried several of her recipes and loved them all! The Fluffy New Potatoes were pretty easy and yummy!
I haven’t tried any of her recipes…. I just visited her website and I am excited to try her recipes!! That cake looks delicious! I will definitely be trying that real soon!
OMg I have been hearing about PW for a while now, and have not been brave enough to look. That cake right there is the reason I did not look before, now i need a jelly roll pan and OMG I need to make that now!!!!
Her pan-fried rib eye steak is amazing!
Steak Bites. My husband and I love them! I have also made them for company as a sort of appetizer/snack and they were a huge hit.
I would say go for the cinnamon rolls. Although she recently posted a recipe for a pear crisp, that I am DYING to try out. Enjoy!
Thanks for introducing me to PW! I haven’t tried any recipes yet, but I have some that I really want to make!
Haven’t tried any recipes yet but can’t wait to make this one!
This looks so yummy, thanks for posting this!
That cake sounds WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS!
I would love a copy of the PW cookbook!
I got the email with the chocolate sheet cake recipe and can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much for introducing me to The Pioneer Woman…. I am going to try some of her recipes, especially this one. :)
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE PW! Her cookbook has to be amazing! Pick me!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE PW and I LOVE LOVE LOVE Bakerella so what would be better than getting a book about someone I love from someone I love.
I know I said it and I can admit it I love you both. :P
Pioneer Woman is amazing! Everything she makes looks great, much like your website :) I’d love to win this!
Try her Smashed Potatoes! Or the Marlboro Man’s Fav sandwich!!! Yummy goodness!
Ohh, you’ve done it again. I drool every time I look at your blog. I’ve never tried PW’s recipes, but I vote you show us the Pineapple Upside-Down Cake. And I may just have to put this book on my Christmas wish list if I don’t win. But PICK ME!! :)
I’m new to baking and would appreciate the chance for PW to teach me how to cook for my Cowboy.
Love your stuff.
I’ve been making and re-making her recently posted sweet-roasted rosemary-glazed acorn squash… Good Lord. I’m not kidding – I have seven more squash in my kitchen eagerly awaiting their glorious transformation.
I have never tried a P.W. recipe, but seeing that Chocalate cake has convinced me to go buy a sheet cake A.S.A. P.!
i really think you must try the Peach Crisp with Maple Cream next!
I absolutely love PW! Both you and her are my top two favorite blogs – really I’m a wannabe Bakerella/PW. I haven’t made any of recipes yet though – I know, lame. But I kept seeing that Simple Sesame Noodle picture and wanted to make that so badly!
Great giveaway! I just made her garlic roasted potatoes and they were delish!
I’ve tried a few, but our favorite recipe is for the Apricot Bars. Super easy and super delicious. :-)
I’ve never heard of pioneer woman…THANKS for the introduction. The only thing that would make it better would be to win the book!!!
I would love to win this for my mom – she loooove the pioneeer woman blog!!
I made the smashed potatoes, they are a hit at our house. If I don’t win I will be looking for it at the bookstore next time I’m there.

Hi there. This is the first exposure I have had to the Pioneer Woman but I have to say that even if I don’t win the cookbook (but I hope I do) I’m gonna go out and buy it. It looks wonderful. Good luck everyone.
PW actually introduced me to Bakerella and I’m so glad she did. I’d love a copy of the book!
Want a copy now…..I love to cook….
I love the PW blog and try to check in on it every day. I recently tried the pumpkin spice muffins. My entire family dobbled them up. They were so moist.
I love her recipes! I have made her Carrot Cake many times….always get tons of compliments on it! :)
I think her “Pioneer Woman’s Coffee Cake Literally” looks fantastc and I would wonder how rich in coffee flavor it really is. I think almost all of her recipes look delicious and I would love to have her cookbook!!
Sesame noodles….soooo yummy!
I am going to the library to check out this cookbook! Everything sounds good. On her website she has available quite a few of the recipes you mentioned.
I’m no cowboy, so I haven’t tried most of PW’s recipes, but that doesn’t stop me from drooling over the pictures. I tried her Whiskey glazed carrots, which were awesome. And the mexican lasagna was yummy as well, though that was technically someone else cooking it. Oh, and her cobbler recipe! So good!
Whenever I need to know how to make something I always go to Pioneer Woman’s site.
I have made her cream cheese mashed potatoes-they are divine, and the bacon wrapped jalepenos stuffed with cream cheese-they are always a crowd pleaser, her simple baked potato wedges and am looking forward to making some of her tasty dishes for the holidays.
I love PW!! And would love to win one of her cookbooks!
I love PW and would love a copy of her cookbook!
As a photographer, I love her step by step photo instructions. I’m not the most inventive baker, but I tried her no kneading dinner rolls and they were FABULOUS! You should try them to have a break from all the chocolate!
i just made the onion strings and roasted pork last week. both turned out awesome and both are recipes that i make often. i’ll have to find an occasion soon to try out this sheet cake. it looks good!
I LOVE PW! Whenever I make something new and my husband asks where the recipe came from, I give him one guess. He always guesses PW because I make so many of her recipes. Definitely try her lasagna. It is my favorite! I can’t wait until she comes to Austin on her book tour. I am so there!
We have a lot of Football watch parties and I seem to always get picked to bring deserts. My favorite of PW’s is the Apple Dumplings and the Tres Leches Cake. Those have been BIG hits. I was surprised at how much the men liked the Tres Leches Cake. They loved it. :)
I love Ree and her site!! I just made her Roasted Garlic and New Potatoes, oh my gosh, they were great!
I haven’t tried any of her recipes yet, but I’d love to!
abdale @ telus.net
I love her site….but I haven’t really tried any of her recipes, yet. Now, I’ll HAVE to try that chocolate sheet cake, though. :)
Wow, I’m just barely sneaking in here! I have tried several of Ree’s recipes from her site. Her directions are always spot on, and everything tastes great! My favorite dinner recipes have been the Chicken Scallopine and the Chicken Parmigiana. Also loved the Potato Bundles. I made her Strawberry Shortcake Cake for my husband’s birthday, and it was delicious! I have not been able to get her cookbook yet, but maybe Santa will bring it to me if I’m not lucky here :-)
her queso dip is a big hit at all my fall football parties!!
Good Lord – you have to try the cinnamon rolls. So much easier than I ever thought. (*Step-by-step directions help, as well.)
I discovered your blog because of The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond (been a huge fan of Ree’s for over two years now). It’s great finding another wonderful blog like yours!
I have tried many of her recipes but my all time fave is her chocolate sheet cake (the one you featured on your blog).
I am interested in a free copy of Ree’s new cookbook.
I’ve tried the sheetcake. It was a big hit. The Chicken Parmigiana was also excellent.
PW’s pumpkin cheesecake is terriffic! My sister also loves the maple-coffee frosting on her (also very good) cinnamon rolls. :)
Definitely definitely try Ree’s recipe for bread pudding. It’s amazing.
A few weeks ago I made her cinnamon rolls for a dessert party I was invited too. So delicious!! I would love to have her cookbook!
Oooo just in time – I’m dying for this!
I love PW! Her recipies are great. Steak and onion sandwich is a hit. Like her lasagna, too but I tweek it to fit my eating style. Thanks for the peek at the cookbook. Can’t wait to get my hands on it!
I LOVE Pioneer Woman, and now I want to make that cake!
No, not yet, but I did find her again in the last three weeks. I am wanting to try all of her recipes. I am thinking of heading to Dallas to meet her on her tour:) Thanks Bakerella. Your recipes are keeping us pudgy.
Woohoo, I want that cake and that book please! :)
I have heard of the PW woman before but never tried any of her recipes… the cookbook would for sure help me do that!
This sounds so good! I would love her cookbook! Her site looks awesome! Thanks
I have tried many things including the chocolate sheet cake. You MUST try her Penne a la Betsy. It’s fabulous!
Oh how I love the Pioneer Woman!! Her pancakes are really yummy! I’ve recently printed off several of her recipes from her site to try. Man I sure would looooove to have her cookbook!!! Gotta get me one of those!!!! Thanks for the chance to win!
I have tried many of her recipies – I love her hummus – it’s my favorite. We had the garlic roasted potatoes Saturday night, and we have also had the crushed potatoes. Everything from her has turned out great!
We actually made your spider cupcakes last week, and they were so cute! They were quite the hit at work. Thank you for sharing your work too!
Chocolate Truffles with Sea Salt. They are so yummy!
I love her cut-out sugar cookies!!!
It is amazing how many comments there are when free stuff is up for grabs! I was just introduced to the Pioneer Woman about 2 days and have been faithfully catching up on her blog since. I don’t know how I didn’t know about her sooner. I haven’t tried any recipies yet but I’d love to get my hands on that cookbook and start!
I have a recipe very similar to this and it is my husbands FAVORITE! My recipe calls for a little bit of cinnamon, try it next time it gives it just a little something special and it makes it just a bit different from all the other sheet cakes. BTW I found Pioneer Womans website just two weeks ago and LOVE it, I would LOVE a cookbook too. Hopefully, I will win one otherwise I have to wait until Christmas and have my hubby buy it for me.
Her apple dumplings are SO good! Seriously!
Try the brie mushrooms
That chocolate cake looks delicious but I also like the sound of the Mocha Brownies – would love to have a go at baking them! PW is fab, I only discovered her blog when you went to visit her
I made her Strawberry Shortcake Cake and it was delightful :)
Apple Cake in an Iron Skillet… it is wonderful!
pick me!
One of my favorite recipes is the Asian Noodle salad. Makes a huge yummy salad. Great for potlucks. I already have her cookbook, pre-ordered one for me and my daughter.
Hi Bakerella! I’d love to win a copy :-) Thanks for the yummy pictures of chocolate cake!
Oh my yes, I am quite aware of Ms. P.W. and so are my hips. I’ve made a number of her recipes, but the one that stands out is her cinnamon rolls. Soooo goooood! The maple icing is what puts them over the top.
Thanks for the opportunity to win her book!
Love the Pioneer Woman!!! I love her recipe for Apple Dumplings. So easy to make and so yummy!!
Believe it or not…the PW recipe that I tried first was for her Chex Mix…it’s really good! Looking forward to trying more. She rocks!
GREAT GOOGLIES….try the bread pudding with whiskey sauce. I made it for Christmas morning last year and went into a sugar coma. It is heaven in a dish.
I have made a number of PW’s recipes – my favorite is Olive Cheese Bread, but I haven’t found any of her recipes that aren’t wonderful.
I made her Rum Cake for a New Year’s DAy Party and everyone loved it and I will be making it every New Year’s from now on!!
I have never heard of Ree!!! But now I can’t wait to check out her website and of course win her book!
I love TPW… and oh boy her cooking is sinful! I have tried her Onion sauce to put on top of steak and she is right, you can eat it alone… she posted this Mushrooms Stuffed with Brie today and I’m totally going to try it over this weekend, since I have guest.
I love The Pioneer Woman! I have made her chocolate sheet cake so many times I almost know the recipe by heart! I would love to win a copy of her cookbook.
Oooo! What an awesome giveaway! I absolutely love her website.
I have made quite a few things. Most recently, her twice-baked potatoes, migas, apple cake, and homemade rolls! I would LOVE her cookbook!
Ree’s a honey. Go ahead and try her blue cheese sauce for steak …awesome, awesome, awesome.
i saw her on the bonnie hunt show and she made her cake which looked absolutely delicious! looks like you did a fine job too!!! there’s nothing like cookin’ for your man!
love her…love you…would love to win her cookbook!
Never heard of her until I read your blog. AMAZING. I’m off to make that chocolate sheet…..I love sugar too! :)
I LOVE the PIoneer Woman…I have tried many of her recipes…just recently made the sugar free chocolate peanut butter pie…YUM!
I love P.W., and my husband LOVES her recipes. I don’t however, love all the extra weight I’ve packed on, while sampling her delicious food :)
This look delicious! I love your blog and especially the cake pops.
We are having her baked lemon pasta tonight. So good!!
I hadn’t heard of the PW before but am definitely checking her out now! Would LOVE a copy of her book!
I love PW’s website. I have been reading her site since the early days.
My favorite recipe is the Crashed Potatoes!
Well, and the chocolate cake and pan fried pork chops.
I would love to have a copy.
I made our local library purchase a copy.
Wow that looks yummy
I’ve seen something or read something about PW before! I love her!
Ree’s recipes are so yummy and she makes me laught every time! Try the migas or the chicken scallopine or the huevos reeos or…heck just try anything. It’s all good!
The chocolate sheet cake is my FAVE!! I’ve gone as far as added mini marshmallows & chopped pecans to the frosting. Mmm….Rocky Road Cake!! Oh sooooo gooood!!!
I love her recipes! The latest one I tried: ribeye steak with onion blue cheese sauce. Success!
I’ve tried 2 of her recipes but couldn’t get them to turn out right. She cooks with a lot more butter and sugar than I am used too. Now I’ve had to quit her recipes cuz my cholesterol is too high.
Yes, I’ve tried some, including this yummy chocolate sheet cake. We liked the BBQ meatballs, too, and the chicken spaghetti. Oh–and my five-year-old couldn’t get enough sesame noodles. The oatmeal crispies are also pretty good.
It’s a good thing I’m not home right now to make that cake. But, as soon as I arrive back from my mini-vaca, it will be on my to-do list! Thanks for the introduction to the PW!
Approaching my third anniversary with my hubby, I am always looking for new recipes to feed him!
OMIGOSH YES! Enter me! <3
zestytengu@gmail.com
while i’m a vegetarian, i tried her steak salad for my husband and he absolutely loved it. i would be thrilled to have a copy of her cookbook…
PW’s pecan pie recipe or chicken spagehtti is great!!
Oh my word this would be the most awesome birthday present to me ever. Today I turned 29 and I didn’t get a cookbook :( Anyway I always miss the PW contests but I am going to make yours on time. Pick me pick me pick me pick me pick me. Oh oh Hey I am over here. And BTW I didn’t know that PW was in Oklahoma…..those are my stomping grounds lived there 26 of my 29 years.
the chocolate cake looks great! i’m gonna have to try it soon.
I’ve done several of PW’s recipes. I love her cooking, photography and inspiration. One of my fav recipes is “Sleepin’ Omelette”.
Marlboro Man’s favorite sandwich is a must!!
YUM! I love her white wine garlic potatoes… yummy!
Love, love, love her chicken spaghetti recipe!!
I have the day off tomorrow……you have talked me into making the sheet cake!! I am sure my family will thank you!
I made her cinnamon rolls recently, took them to the “they’re almost ready to pop in the oven” stage and covered them tightly and popped them in the fridge. Took ’em out when I got up, let ’em sit ’til they warmed up and started to rise again (took about 45-60 minutes) and popped ’em in the oven. Took them to work straight out of the oven with a squirt bottle full of slightly thinned cream cheese icing and completely slayed all the guys that work in the shop. I was Ruler of the Universe for the day. lol
I already ordered a copy for myself. I just couldn’t wait!! But I have many people to whom this would make a perfect Christmas gift. :)
I love her recipes! The steak bites are to die for!
I tried her biscuits and of course cake pops so far!
I’ve been meaning to check her out but you have just convinced me so thank you for introducing me to the Pioneer Woman! That Chocolate sheet cake looks SO good!!! Mmmm wonder where I can get a tin that size today to bake it!!
I read PW’s site every day. I’ve made the sheet cake and had to force myself to not inhale the whole thing in one sitting. I gained about five pounds eating it (between my husband and son eating some of the cake too) I vowed not to make the sheet cake again until I have a crowd to bake it for; it’s too much for three people. But golly, it’s delicious!
I’d love to win this book!
I love the Pioneer Woman and so excited she has a new cookbook!
I’m going to make the chicken parmesan tonight…don’t know if it’s in the cookbook or not…but I would know if I won!!!
Love, love, love the Pioneer Woman. I have had several of her recipes and I really love the Chicken Spaghetti & the Mac N Cheese. Yummy!
I love Ree’s website, but I haven’t tried any of her recipes yet! Maybe I’ll have try one soon!
Jalapeno stuffed thingys was the first recipe I tried from Ree’s site and they were a huge hit with the family! I would love to have a copy of her new cookbook. If I don’t win though, I might have to request it on my wishlist for Christmas
hey bakerella!
nice surprise ending to your blog today!
yup, i’ve made her cauliflower soup.
but like you, i’ve resisted the tre leches cake. but not for long.
bty…i love your site, too!!
beautiful. and fun. and funny!!
and your work looks too good for words.
Love her jalapeno poppers!
Her Thanksgiving stuffing recipe is out of this world! I will never make stuffing without her recipe!
I’ve made her Orange Shrimp and Stuffed Onions. Both were very good!
I’ve tried many of her recipes and have yet to be disappointed. Would love to have her cookbook to add to my collection! Best thing ever to get up in the bed and read cookbooks!
I love both you gals! You are both so creative and I read your blogs always and have made your cake pops and a ton of her delish dishes. Yumo!
I absolutely LOVE Ree and her site! I’m addicted to it! I haven’t tried any recipes, mainly because I know it wouldn’t turn out like hers, but if I could try one, it would have to be the cinnamon rolls. They look so scrumptious!!!
the only recipe i’ve ever tried from PW cooks is the chocolate sheet cake – i made cupcakes out of half of the batch and my picky boyfriend claimed they didn’t count as cupcakes (and made some lame excuse) just to make me feel inferior for never having eaten an actual real genuine cupcake. sigh.
I’ve made quite a few things: Iny’s Prune cake, Migas, Spreads (this cookie thing with chocolate melted on the top). Really great! Up next, I’m trying the Caramel Apple Rolls. :)
Oooh, I would love a copy!
I’ve made her oatmeal crispies, bacon-wrapped jalapeno cream cheese things, and caramel apple cinnamon rolls. I would love to have this book so I don’t have to check the computer all the time when I’m cooking in the kitchen!
Grilled Ribeye Steak with Onion-Blue Cheese Sauce. Try it.
Try her Strawberry Cake–it is fabulous and worth the effort!!
I am absolutely addicted to the caesar salad:
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/09/pams-simple-scrumptious-caesar-salad/
We just had it again tonight!
I’ve tried her steak with grilled onions and blue cheese sauce. YUM! I’m actually planning on trying her Red Pepper Risotto tonight too!
Her MOLASSES COOKIES are to die for!!! :-) Hope I win!
I WANT THAT COOKBOOK!!!!!
I love Pioneer Woman and would love to have a cookbook. We are trying with great persistence to get out of debt right now, so I can’t buy one yet. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll win one! We have tried several of Pioneer Woman’s recipes. Her Crash Hot Potatoes are a family favorite. A few more we’ve tried and enjoyed are Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich, Strawberry Shortcake Cake, French Breakfast Puffs and of course her Best Ever Chocolate Sheetcake! YUM
I love the bacon wrapped jalepenos!
PW is my go to gal at LEAST once a week for a recipe. Some of my favs from the site are her mystery rolls, blue cheese/onion sauce for steak, choco sheet cake…oh boy, i could go on and on. I just adore her and Bakerella! So creative and very inspiring!!!
Kim (kim.maingat@gmail.com)
I would love a PW Cookbook! I haven’t tried any of her recipes yet. The sheet cake looks great.
I make her Marlboro Man sandwiches occasionally … so good, but just a WEE bit of guilt.
of course i want this…
cake!
well, the book too. But If you want, you can send me some cake too!
xo :)
I’ve tried so many of her recipes and they’re all terrific!
My son and new daughter-in-law are pleased to have PW in their life when it comes to fixing dinner.All her pictures are great for new cooks (and seasoned ones). PW’s “Coffee Cake Literally” is scrumptious.
Chocolate sheet cake!
I’m running to the tore RIGHT now to get the stuff to make this. It looks fantastic! I am always looking for fun and easy recipes that make your mouth just water thinking about it. Thanks for posting!
i made her 2008: year of the pot roast recipe two days ago and it was FABULOUS! my husband told me it was his favorite pot roast that he’s ever had! i highly recommend it!
Rosemary rolls – are they in the book?
Thanks for introducing me to Pioneer Woman! This cake looks awesome!
Have been reading since the beginning! Her lasagna and Chicken Spaghetti are my favorite recipes!
Oh man I LOVE Pioneer Woman! I have made the corn casserole, bacon wrapped jalepenos, chicken parm, and I want to make soo much more! I make my husband happy with her food! :0)
I have tried a few of PW’s recipes and can’t wait to get a copy of her cookbook. My favorite so far is her pico de gallo and guacamole recipes. Yum!
It is so simple, but my family’s favorite recipe from PW is her crash potatoes! They are so awesome! Every recipe I have tried, my family loves!
I love chocolate sheet cake. It is heavenly. Now, I have to go & get buttermilk to make some! I haven’t tried any of her recipes yet…but I am going to! I would love that cookbook! Thanks!
WOW! That cake looks amazing. I hadn’t heard of PW before, but now that I have, I can’t wait to try some of her recipes. Thank you, Bakerella for posting this!

PW is my hero! Seriously, try her bread recipe … you’ll never use any other after that. It’s soooo easy!
I have tried LOADS of recipes from her site! One of my husbands favs are her apple dumplings. They are super easy and taste like a slice of heaven!
Thanks Pee-Dubaya (that’s my nickname for PW!)
I have been thinking of getting her cookbook since she started talking about it but I just haven’t done it yet. I absolutely love her and you and think this giveaway is great!!
Thanks!
jshields8313@yahoo.com
Ive actually tried the chocolate sheet cake and I couldnt agree with you more! its the best! and it definitely satisfies my chocolate craving
i would love a copy of this. i haven’t tried any of her recipes, but have tried some of Pastor Ryan’s. It’s time i tried hers :)
The Olive Cheese Bread is AMAZING!!! I’d love her cookbook :)
This looks too yummy. I would love to try the cinnamon rolls too. I definately need to pick up this cook book. Thanks for the great updates!!
I Love reading PW’s blog she has such a variety of things to read about and I enjoy it all. I would LOVE to win her cookbook and get started cooking away.
dbfullerton@aol.com
Have I cooked a PW recipe? Are you kidding me? What PW recipe have I not cooked????
My first and probably most favorite recipe is her green beans…my family loves them. They also request the chicken sandwich on a regular basis. PW really gave me a love for cookin and a confidence that I could be a decent cook!!! Now, I just need to lose the extra weight from all the good food:-)
This Chocolate Sheet Cake was the second PW recipe I made and it’s now a steady “go to” recipe! I think I still have the heartburn from her Wings – my first PW recipe.
I haven’t ever heard of her but she does have some yummy looking recipes! I collect cookbooks and this one looks really neat!
Loved her cowboy sandwiches…and so did the men I cooked them for! A definite winner..
Apple Dumplings. Easy and delicious!
I have made a few, but my favorite so far has been Pastor Ryans Pasta Carbonara from her site! Yum!
I’ve tried several. But my fav has been the onion rings. They taste just like the ones we used to get at Rock-ola Cafe!! Love IT!!! I can’t wait to see her in Nashville. I’d love to win a copy of her book to take with me!!
I love PW. I’ve made that chocolate sheet cake and I swear it was gone before I even let anyone know I made it!!!
Her Apple Cake in and Iron Skillet is delish!!!!!!
I love her to pieces
I love PW! I want to make the chicken spaghetti recipe!
I love her recipe for dressing (turkey stuffing!). It’s my favorite dish for thanksgiving and Ree’s recipe is just so darn flavorful, I just love it!
I love PW! I haven’t tried very many of her recipes yet. And this one!! Oh my! Perfect timing. Tomorrow is hubby’s b-day and he just love, Love, LOVES chocolate! And since he doesn’t like the traditional type birthday cakes, this one should be right up his alley. Did I say he LOVES chocolate? Thanks for posting the recipe here.
I made PW’s risotto one time….it was delicious!
I entered to win the Kitchen Aid mixer + cookbook on the PW site….and didn’t. So if I don’t win this one, I may have to just give in and buy it….or wait til Christmas and hope someone buys it for me ;)
It looks fantastic!
I’ve used many of PW’s recipes. Why? Because I don’t have to spend ONE MINUTE trying to decide if its going to be good or not. It always is!
I have this recipe and have made it many times over the years, with and without pecans and each and every time it gets rave reviews. O, my mouth is watering looking at all your pics. You are great and your never ending cake pops are incredible. Would love to win PW’s book and expand my cooking knowledge. You can contact me at jdgilch@msn.com and visit my blog at cardologyetc.blogspot.com for anything creative. Watch for my spinach rolls coming in november–pics and all.
I LOVE PW’s Onion Strings and her Garlic Cheese Bread. YUM!
Love me some PW.
Last recipe I made was the Corn and Avocado salad! That one could make me a vegetarian, it was that fabulous! Drrooolll….
Love, love the pioneer woman. I have tried many of her recipes and haven’t had a bad one yet. I go with the jalapeno poppers as being my favorite.
I have made many of her recipes!! I made her rib eye steak with blue cheese, oh…my…gosh!!! To die for!!! Also her apple dumplings are so easy and soooooooo yummy!!
I have made Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich and it’s GOOD. I’ve also made this chocolate sheet cake and it was gone in 24 hours.
I have bake (and will forever continue to bake her cinnamon rolls). They are so ridiculously good and suddenly I am ridiculously popular when I share these with people.
Thanks PW for sparking the flame in my social life!
I have tried many of PW’s recipes. Most recently I made the Chinese Sesame Noodles…so easy and delicious!! All of her food is amazing as well as the photography!
Wow! Those sound delicious and you make them look even more delicious.
I stumbled across her site earlier this year and have been making and baking constantly!! I personally love her susage stuffed mushroom caps! To die for!!
Every recipe I’ve ever made from PW is GOOD! I make the Yogurt Cream and Berries a lot though.
Coming over from PW (again) – Love Love Love your cake pops and cute little wonderfulness! I have only made keepers from PW – the brisket, the tenderloin, the olive bread….throw a dart at it and you will be happy!
