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.

love love love PW’s site. I’ve tried a couple of her recipes, but my favorite is her Asian Noodle Salad. Great for parties. But when cooking for myself and the boyfriend, we both enjoy her Chicken Scallopine recipe with an extra squeeze of lemon juice.
I’m suddenly feeling very pioneer-ish! Please pick me… randomly of course! :)
I want it ….. Me, me, pick me. I too love that chocolate sheet cake… what an easy way to impress all the cooks in your life. Oh and BTW… My niece makes all of your fabulous creations and then posts about how awesome you are.
Roxanne
I’ve tried quite a few of Ree’s recipes, and my favorite are the apple dumplings, the crash hot potatoes, and the SHEET CAKE! There are many more I’d like to try, so the cookbook would be great. Thanks so much!
i would LOVE a copy! i haven’t tried any of her recipes yet, but i’m sure this book would help me out!
thanks!
melany.larsen@gmail.com
I would love a copy!
I love PW too! I followed her way of doing a Pan Fried Rib- Eye and it was DELICIOUS! The easiest way to make a steak. It comes out soft like butter and is very simple to follow.
I really want to try her Yellow Cupcakes with Sticky Chocolate frosting, sounds so good! You should try them ;)
Love her! Her website is like food porn.
It was actually Pioneer Woman who introduced me to you and your blog when you visited the ranch. I love your blog and you have sealed me in as coolest Aunt in the world to my nieces and nephews. Thank you!
I have tried almost every single recipe on her blog and love them all.
If you want chocolate go for the Delicious Baked Fudge.
The olive cheese bread and stuffed mushrooms are wonderful.
Want something simple but fabulous for a side dish go for Roasted Garlic & New Potatoes. YUM!
I would love to get a copy of this. I put it on my Christmas list – but my husband never seems to buy from my list :-? Two of my favorties that we have tried is her lasagna and olive cheese bread. I think this week we will have to try the chocolate cake!
lopez3 at gmail dot com
OOOHHHH! AMAZING! I can add to my waistline tastefully! No more store bought sweets for me!
I love Pioneer Woman. (and her recipes) Her potatoes in packets taste like scalloped potatoes without all the fuss and are ready in much less time. Delish!
YUM! That cake looks delish! I’ve never tried any of her recipes, but I’d love to! Thanks for the giveaway!
I try her recipes all the time…thus accounting for my recent weight gain sigh. I think my favorite is her strawberry shortcake cake, sooo delicious!!
I was absolutely addicted to her love story over the summer. She is so fun, and I would love a copy of her cookbook.
MIGAS. You MUST try migas! It’s the most amazing egg-involving breakfast you’ll ever eat.
Oh, that cake looks so yummy! I need that cookbook! :)
My friend sent me a link to Pioneer woman about a year ago, but I never started following her, now after seeing the cake I might have to!
Thanks for the PW website! I’m glad she has a holiday section, will try some this season!
i’ve made her meatballs, creamy mashed potatoes, her favorite salad (asian)….love her site and yours!
I think the only thing I have actually made from her site is the Iny’s Prune Cake, which was delicious! I have a bunch more bookmarked to try, though…and now I’m adding to that the chocolate sheet cake!
I love PW and check her blog constantly. I haven’t tried many of her recipes, but the ones that I have tried were scrumptious. I would love a copy of her book. :)
I saw this cake recipe on her site some time ago and was going to make it but never did. I have my favorite chocolate cake recipe and pretty much do not veer away from it. However, I may have to venture to this one ….
I do not want to write a novel. I am just a massage therapist that LOVES to bake. Although, I think I like to decorate more. You have truly inspired me to track my ow baking successes (and mishaps)! Thank you for your website! THANK YOU for this recipe! I cannot wait to try it! that chocolate icing looks SO good I’m actually salivating right now! HA!
Plus, another cookbook is like months of opportunities! PICK ME! :)
you should try the tiramisu, because if i see you both try it, i might be breave enough to try it too!
I just discovered your website and love all your cute ideas. I also have been reading PW. She makes everything look so good and I would love a copy of her book. Thanks for sharing all of your ideas. I went and bought the ingredients to make some cake balls for this weekend.
Blessings!
I love reading the stories from her blog, but haven’t had a chance to make any of her recipes. I have several in mind that I’d like to make this winter, and having this cookbook would be a great incentive!
I love PW and I also love cookbooks. All her recipes are delicious!
So happy that you introduced us to Pioneer Woman! I can’t wait to read all of her older posts. I feel like I am a pioneer woman in training. Every year my husband moves us further away from the city. Last year we introduced chickens to our small farm. He is taking us to country life slowly but surely and I have alot to learn from Pioneer Woman before we get there!
I’d love to win on of PW’s new cookbooks!
The next one of her recipes you might want to try is her Cinnamon Rolls!
dorisandpete@hotmail.com
I love PW and she brought me to you. I’ve made tons of her stuff and I have her mini stuffed red potatoes in the oven right now. I would love a copy of her book and if I don’t win I still plan on buying it.
hmm… i haven’t tried any of her recipes yet, but thank you for telling me about her website! that cake looks scrumptious! i’d love a chance to use her cookbook. (: if i, by some miracle, get picked to win the book, i can be contacted through email (amandajt@email.unc.edu).
thank you so much, bakerella! you are indeed awesome!
Love PW! Been on her blog for quite a while now. Too many yummy recipes to pick from. Try the cinnamon rolls next! Heavenly!
Now I have to try this!! I have brownies in the oven for Spider Bites (didn’t get the chance on Halloween, but my nephew will still love them tomorrow!) But hmm…a 12×18″ pan?? That IS a lot of cake!! :)
I’ve gotten to be familiar with her cooking through your site!
You def. need to try her butter rosemary rolls!!!!
http://www.harinayfe.wordpress.com
I love PW! I’ve tried several of her recipes and they have all been great…seriously…all of them! I l-o-v-e her cinnamon rolls. Her chocolate pie is the best. MM’s favorite sandwich is always a hit in my house.
I have tried numerous recipes of PW. All have been really great! We love the Asian Noodle Salad and her Cinammon Rolls.
Oh me oh my. Since I saw she was writing a cookbook, I’ve wanted it!! She has so many amazing recipes. Her lasagna is to die for; best I’ve ever had. In terms of sweets, I’ve made her cinnamon rolls and they are heavenly!
I’ve never tried any of her recipes, but I’ve heard a lot about her and I have been thinking of trying a couple…
MistyHCunningham (at) gmail (dot) com
I love Ree! I saw her at blogHER food!!
love your blog… I actually just made “The best chocolate sheet cake ever” from the PW site last month… DELiSH!! Except I did embellish it a little bit by adding mounds of peanut butter cups in and on top of it… know whats better than “The best chocolate sheet cake ever?”… wait for it… wait for it… “The best chocolate sheet cake with tons and loads of wonderful peanut butter cups ever!!”… yum-yum :)
I have yet to try one of PW’s recipes, though they all look very yummy!
I’ve tried her Mystery Rolls….delish! I love them all!
Yum! That looks amazing. I’ve tried her chicken spaghetti, and her Marlboro Man sandwich…but not even she could teach me how to cook meat properly :( I’ll just stick with the sweet stuff!
I love pw. I’ve made Marlboro Man’s favorite sandwich for my fiance, he loved it!
I thank you kindly for the introduction. I made a very average chocolate sheet cake once and never made it again because, you know, it was *average*.
Now I’m very eager to try this!
creamysilver@gmail.com
This sounds fabulous and I would love to try more!!!
You MUST make her Tres Leches cake RIGHT NOW. You think this one is good………..u haven’t had CAKE until you have had the Tres Leches cake!
I believe I found PW from your website back when you went to visit her. I’ve been in love ever since. I’ve tried a few of her recipes and absolutely love it all!
I do read her blog, jealous of her kitchen, it looks amazing. But I have yet to try one of her recipes.
Oh goodness I would just LOVE this book! You both are the greatest!
heather(dot)bird(at)hotmail(dot)com
My mother made this cake, too, and it IS the best cake ever!! She started making it in a regular 9×13 cake pan and it is delicious that way, too! My kids have made me make this cake for every birthday for many years!
I have made a couple of her recipes… so far they have all been good!!! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of her cookbook!
Her sea salt truffles are AMAZING.
I LOVE them. and her. and you. and everything!
:)
But for real..make the truffles.
I love the Pioneer Woman and I love you too!
Oh. My. Goodness! That cake looks divine. I will have to try that. Of course, I’ll have to try a piece and send the rest with my fiance to work. Otherwise, it’s going to end up on my backside. :\
I love Ree’s Chili Con Queso recipe! I made it this weekend for my fiance’s birthday party. I could have eaten it with a spoon. Who needs Tostitos?! Everyone else loved it, too. I’m pretty sure someone licked the crock pot clean because it was suspiciously clean when it was all gone. :)
kamokugal@hotmail.com
Wow can’t wait to make the sheet cake…..and win the book.
I can’t remember the name of the PW recipe I tried. It was red potatoes and lyou lightly smash them before you bake them. Yummy!
it’s so great of you to offer this giveaway to your readers as well as promote her new book!
two of my favorite blogs – I love keeping up with you guys and am constantly amazed and inspired.
thank you!
Yum. Reminds me of my grandma. I live in OK and she made a famous (in our neck of the woods) choc sheet cake. When we had get togethers, we looked foward to getting a piece of her cake!
Love that chocolate sheet cake.
PW’s pot roast recipe is fabulous too!
I LOVE the Pioneer Woman!! I also LOVE this sheet cake, although I have only consumed the “Texas Sheet Cake” rendition of THIS sheet cake. L-O-V-E-L-Y!!
I have tried The Pioneer Woman’s Flashback to 1981 Holiday Bacon Appetizers. They were a little rich for me but the men in my life DEVOURED them!!
I have never heard about her till I read this post, and oh boy was I glad i read this post.
Thank you for introducing her into my life ;)
I haven’t tried any of PW’s recipes yet. I loved the pics and post from your trip, though. I’ll try the chocolate sheet cake. I’m usually more of thick frosting type of girl, but I’ll take your advice!
I originally found her site through your posts about visiting the ranch and fell totally in love. My thanksgiving is going to consist of a bunch of her recipes but the one i make most often is the mac and cheese, can not get enough of that stuff!! Thank you so much for introducing me to her!
I love PW and I tried “Christmas Rum Cake”. It was so good, it reminded me of theTortuga cake we had in Jamaica. I’ll be making it again this holiday season.
I tried to zucchini strings from her site. I am now an addict, so easy to whip up and goes with everything.
Howdy! Bakerella
I baked the french breakfast puffs and they reminded me of those little retro cinnamon donuts,except the puffs were delicious.
On a mild whim I made a bagel sandwich she featured this summer… herbed cream cheese, loads of fresh veggies… OMG, heaven and I have been eating them as often as I can ever since. I HIGHLY recommend!
i just made ree’s buttery rosemary rolls. yummy! i didnt have the rhodes, so i made my own bread dough. so worth it.
I have only heard of the Pioneer Woman. I have never actually been to her site, so thanks for introducing us! Haha.
I love her brown sugar baked acorn squash! Yum!
Her recipe for “Chocolate Pie” is the best!
I actually read about pioneer woman here and i haven’t been able to get around to making any of her recipes…yet!….tho I did read her love story with marlboro man….awwww
thanks for the introduction…..now i gotta get to baking!
QUIERO UN VASO DE LECHE. (I want a glass of milk) That’s what I said when I saw that picture, it looks so delish… I’m going to make this soon! Bravo for de PW.
You’re kidding, right? I think the next one should be A. Ivey’s Prune Cake. But I like the Cowboy Sandwich things ( minute steaks, onions, butter and Worceshire sauce), and the jalapenos/cream cheese/bacon things are incredible. And so easy. I also like her oatmeal cookies. I better stop… (Pastor Ryan’s Orange Shrimp is something I make at least once a month – so easy and incredibly good). Okay, I’m really done, now.
OOPS! Sorry! One would think I know my own blgo address! I left out part of the address on my post above! Sorry…I am one sleep deprived, baking mom!! =)
I love the PW for photography advice but haven’t tried her recipes yet. That’ll be next!!
what do u mean having a 12 x 18 cake was a deterrent???
LOL looks delish
I love PW! I actually discovered her on my own, coincidentally the same day I discovered your site. How divinely appointed! My favorite recipe of hers is Baked Lemon Pasta. Easy and luscious. I think I’ll be trying the sheet cake next.
I have yet to try any of her recipes, but if I had her cookbook, I sure would! :-)
I’ve made the Penna a la punk ass Betsy, delicous!!!! Can’t wait to get the cookbook to try some other recipes!
I found PW off your site earlier this year and fell in love w/ her and her site! So thank you! (I love your site too!) I have tried several of her recipes, but one really yummy one is her potatoes wedges-so yummy and so simple!
I also LOVE Pioneer Woman! I can’t live without checking your blog or hers regularly!!
I have 2 faves at the moment!! Last year, on Halloween, I tried her Apple Dumplings….oh you MUST try these! Simple and DEEEE-lish!! Seriously, who makes a dessert with crescent rolls and Mountain Dew??!! She does…TRY THEM!! Also, every time I make her Crash Hot Potatoes, we devour them and our guests LOVE them. These are 2 MUST TRY-ers!! =) TRUST ME!!! You are uh.may.zing! Thanks for all the hard, fun work you put in for us! You make me smile (and my family when I make your fun treats)! Thanks Bakerella!
The first time I visited PW’s site, I was looking for recipes. I made her chicken scallopine that evening and loved it. I returned to the site and discovered everything else — I must have spent a good two hours or so reading about how she fell in love with Marlboro Man. As well as all her christmas gift recommendations. And Photoshop tutorials. And now I think I’m obsessed!
I haven’t tried any of PW’s recipes but this chocolate cake looks like a “must” bake!
My fingers are crossed, and I cannot decide if its because I would LOVE this cookbook or if its because I caught myself jabbing at my computer screen to see if I could snag a taste of that yummy looking sheet cake! great pictures…a little too realistic for my pallet apparently :)
Thank you for introducing me!
You & PW are my new favorite addictions.
Must have that book!
Marlboro Man’s sandwich is a very yummy staple in our house. I have made her cinnamon rolls and Pastor Ryan’s mexican lasagna. Oh goodness I’m gaining weight just talking about it.
I’ve been visiting her sight for months now.
I made baked lemon pasta. It wasn’t as good as I thought it would be (I haven’t made it since), and I threw part of it away.
But I still love her, even though I didn’t love that dish.
I haven’t gotten around to trying many of PW’s recipes, although I certainly want to. I did make Marlboro Man’s favorite sandwich for my father in law last Christmas, and it was a total hit. He really liked it, and so did everyone else.
Chocolate Sheet Cake here I come. This type of recipe was one my mother made for us growing up. I will have to try PW’s version. I would love to have my hands on her cookbook. I love all the step by step photos in the cookbook too.
I’ve made her onion strings and they are so good!
I haven’t tried her chocolate sheet cake recipe yet but it looks very similar to my grandmother’s recipe the main difference being pecans added to the icing. If you enjoy pecans, then you definitely want to try adding them to the icing. So very good!
I love PW!! I have been meaning to make her chocolate cake for a while . . . you might have convinced me to do it now! :)
I love PW!! Her photography has lured me into making quite a few of her recipes! I have had a PW makin and bakin weekend! My hubby is flu sick and I made the “best lasagna”, THE “best chocolate sheet cake” and “monkey bread”….Great food to bring nourishment to a snifflin sneezin man!!! I accredit his speedy recovery to the PW food!!!!
You can contact me via email….;)
PW’s cake is the same as my mother’s Texas Chocolate Sheet Cake…the easiest and most delicious chocolate cake recipe EVER! I haven’t read PW but if she puts that cake in her book then she’s got my vote for sure. I’d love to check out her cookbook!
I love PW…her recipes are great! I would love to own her cookbook!
I have made this very sheet cake and completely agree with everything you have said… Fantastic. Period. I took it to work and it was gone before lunch :-).
My roommate is a pecan pie aficionado and I have a long-standing tradition of purchasing her a pecan pie for her birthday. This year, I decided to do something a little bit better or more dangerous and decided to use the Pioneer Woman’s recipe for pecan pie for my roommate. It turned out perfectly and she’s now addicted to the pioneer woman’s blog and is terribly excited about the release of the cookbook. I’m hoping to get her a copy as a second birthday present.
it is hard to believe that anyone would not know who I am talking about when I say “the pioneer woman” ….
i have tried many of her recipes! i think one of my favs is her french onion soup. made her delicious chocolate pie for a catering not long ago and it IMMEDIATELY got me another job!!! ;)
I love PW and I’m dying to get my hands on her book! I’ve tried a lot of her recipes. In fact, just this weekend I made her “scrumptious apple pie” and it was definitely scrumptious.
Gotta love the apple dumplings with Mountain Dew. Yes, it sounds bizarre. But DEE. LISH. US!
I’d love to win PW’s cookbook!!! We’ve been making this cake for years. We call it ‘Grandma’s Chocolate Cake’ because my husband’s Grandma made it for dinner every Sunday when we would eat with her. Her recipe uses buttermilk in the icing as well as in the cake. It is great with or without nuts. If I take it to a dinner at church I usually come home with an empty pan!
I’m a huge fan of her’s! I can’t wait for her to come to Dallas for the book signing!
I love all of her recipes… ALL. OF. THEM.
I love her stuff and yours too!
I *LOVE* PW! Pretty sure she is my hero! I loved her Chocolate lava cake… mmmmmm so good!
I LOVE Pioneer Woman…and it’s your visit earlier this year that introduced me to her! Her recipes are fabulous, but my favorite that I’ve made is the strawberry shortcake cake!
I made my husband Marlboro Man’s favorite sandwich. It was fantastic!
I would love to win this drawing!
Thank you for introducing me to PW. I loved visiting her website and can tell already that I would love to use her cookbook and recipes :)
I love love love love PW’s Roasted Red Pepper sauce and pasta recipe!! Soooo tasty! I ADORE that woman. I want to come to her ranch :)
My favorite PW recipe are the jalepeno bacon wrapped thingys. I love her site and if I dont win I am going to go buy one right away! Your post has really made me want to go buy it now.
This sheet cake is actually my favorite PW recipe (to date) too! I make it all the time and everyone loves it!
Of course, I’d love a PW cookbook so I could find some new favorites! :)
I love PW and I have made a few recipes off her site, but not sure if they are in her book. I would love to have a copy of the book and I hope to go to her book signing when she comes to Dallas!
Pioneer Womens Sesame Noodles are very addicting!! everything I have tried from her has been great! I want that cookbook please!!
I would welcome another Red Velvet cake recipe! I also figure if I’m going to buy a jelly roll pan why not bake the sheet cake and make a roll cake?
mmm… she’s such an amazing cook!
I hadn’t heard of The Pioneer Woman before this post, but that cake looks so yummy!! And sounds so easy! I can’t wait to try it! I’m sure it will be sometime this week. I’m 8 1/2 months pregnant, and the past couple of months I seem to not be able to go more than a week without making some kind of cake or cupcakes! :) I’m going to have a very sweet baby :)
I’ve tried several of Ree’s recipes. My favorite is the Pasta alla Vodka, but my husband loves the bacon wrapped jalepenos!
I LOVE PW! Her site and yours are my weekly reads! My family LOVES her Good Morning muffins, they are so fabulous and filling! Try them out – you will love them!
Oh my, if I weren’t feeling a little sick from all the Halloween Candy, my mouth would be watering. Looks delicious! Can’t wait to check out PW’s cookbook!
I love her recipes but two of my favs are the roasted red pepper pasta and the shrimp penne. YUM!
The stuffed mushrooms are amazing.
I love PW! I’m going to make her pear crisp tomorrow night. There are several other recipes I’ve tried, and I don’t think I could pick a favorite. I would be thrilled to win that cookbook!
I would like to see the Tres Leche cake. I have never made one and am trying to gain the courage to do so. haha Yall both are so talented. I really wanted to attempt to make her fried chicken! I would love to win her cookbook.
HEAVEN!!! I love her site, I love her cookbook ( I just borrowed my friends) I love her tasty kitchen site, I love her recipes.
We have tried several of them from her site without any disappointment. Our Fav is the Mexican Lasagna!!!!
I would love to win a copy to give to a friend! We were supposed to go see PW together at her book signing here in Tulsa but her daughter came down with swine flu, so she wasn’t able to go. My husband LOVES her quiche (there’s bacon involved), but it’s not in the cookbook. From the cookbook, the sheet cake is definitely tops!
I know Ree because of you. The book looks wonderful. I want to try all the dessert recipes!
I loved her Pumpkin Spice Muffins (With Cream Cheese Frosting). Absolutely delicious. I would love to win her cookbook. Thanks!!
I haven’t tried any of her recipes yet, but I would LOVE to!
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE is her BAKED FUDGE!!!! All you chocolate lovers out there that have not tried this Pioneer Woman recipe are seriously missing out. Its the easiest t hing to make but ohh so delicious!
Her Bacon wrapped jalepenos were a big hit at a BBQ also!
My Email is boopsnro@yahoo.com
Thanks!
I love PW! Last Christmas my boyfriend and I made her cinnamon rolls—they made me fall in love with her!
I made Marlboro Man’s favorite sandwich and I still dream about it, it was so good. Quite jealous you got to go see her on the ranch. I guess winning a copy of her cookbook would be the next best thing. Right?
Mmmmm, I have made many of PW’s recipies, some of my favorites are her cinnamon rolls, whiskey glazed carrots, chicken cassarole and creamed spinach, I’m so hungry now!
I have visited her site a few times and just read about ‘real’ cooking. Have yet to try out a recipe but maybe it’s because I’m afraid I’ll fail! I’d love a cookbook!
yes, this is the best chocolate cake EVER! try the shrimp penne pasta, it’s delicious!
oh. my. goodness. I did not realize that PW had a book. I love her blog. I haven’t made anything out of it yet, but I am definitely going to make her cinnamon rolls for christmas. :)
I’ve tried a few of her recipes, the tres leches cake, chicken parmesagna, chicken scallopine, I have to check her site every day for more inspiration.
I saw PW make this on the Bonnie Hunt show and have been thinking about it ever since. :)
I’ve been waiting for the book signing here to get my copy, but wouldn’t mind having it a little early! ;)
Looks delish! I’ve never heard of PW and it looks like I’ve been missing out! I would love a copy! tobyjuice@juno.com
I love her no-knead dinner rolls…my family fav now!
I love chocolate! Actually, just today I made brownies. When I first saw your new post today I thought, wow, I just made brownies too… then I saw that it was chocolate sheet cake. I’ve never made cake from scratch.. I guess this is the best recipe to start with! I would love to try her other recipes… I hope I hear from you at cmor17@aol.com
I want this book soooo bad!! I’ve tried a few of her recipes, fav. is her mac n cheese mmmm so yummy!
hollyan78@yahoo.com
Thanks for introducing me to Pioneer Woman. That chocolate sheet cake looks so good…I’m definitely giving that a try soon!
I’ve tried a few – the carrot cake recipe is still talked about to this day among those lucky enough to fight their way to the last of it. And the cheesy garlic bread?
Well. whether as how she specified or tinkered with a bit, as I am wont to do, I generally have to make a secret extra batch if I intend on getting to eat any of it after someone else realizes my game.
I love pioneer woman, but I’ve yet to try a recipe – guess I really need the cookbook!
I have tried MANY of her recipes and haven’t found a single one that we didn’t love. Can you believe I haven’t tried the sheet cake yet? I think I need to make it tomorrow. I would love a copy of her cookbook!
No, this chocolate cake will be my first one. Can’t wait!
I have made quite a few of her recipes! The bacon wrapped, stuffed jalapeno are always a HUGE hit!
I have never heard of PW, but i am off to her website now to check her out! i am very excited and will probably make that cake sometime soon :)
Hi! I found your site this weekend and have fallen in love with everything! As a military wife I think I have found plenty to keep me busy while my hubby is deployed. PW’s site also is quite fun and I would love to try out her cookbook. Thanks so much for such a wonderful site!
I’ve never heard of pioneer woman before. But the cake looks TASTY!
I’ve never tried any of her recipes! I spend way too much time drooling over them to pick just one! I vote you try the apple dumplings next! I have my eyes on those!
If I were having a birthday party for myself, I would invite you, Bakerella, and PW. So looking forward to trying this sheet cake and somehow acquiring this cookbook. Thank you!!!!
You betcha…I love PW!! Her Marlboro Man sandwiches are my man’s favorite now, her cinnamon rolls have wooed many a teenage boy to come to Sunday School when I bring them for a bribe and this chocoholic goodness goes by Texas Sheetcake where I come from!! No matter the title, her book is destined to bring her fame (MORE) and fortune (MORE!)
Pick me, pick me!!

I have made:
roasted garlic
Chocolate pie (it is fantastic–much like French Silk)
Jalapeno popper thingies (unbelievably good)
I’ve had great success with her recipes.
Thanks for the book offer!
I made her grilled cheese sandwich. Total cowgirl food! And totally amazing. There was a point where I was literally making it every single day for lunch. She’s amazing.
I love the PW, I would love a copy… I think you should try cinnamon rolls for us next!! Thanks for the giveaway!! =)
i have not tried any of her recipies yet. im about to go on maternity leave so i’ll need something to do while im waiting for the baby!!
I love PW’s chocolate curls tutorial! And I would LOVE her cookbook!
This IS the best sheetcake ever!!! We also like Marlboro Man’s 2nd Favorite Sandwich. It is a FAV at our house!!! She has such great recipes and most are easy! Delish!!!

Luz :)
Hard choice to pick what to make next! Tres Leches cake was always interesting to me. But then the Pumpkin Cake with Whiskey Whipped Cream would be excellent this time of year!
oh yes, I LOVE PW recipes! I’ve made her steak bites, which are now my husbands birthday food. We’ve also made some of her pan fried potatoes…can’t remember what she calls them. haven’t looked at the recipe in a while. they’re so good and we make them so often, I just memorized it!
I absolutely LOVE her recipe for grilled ribeye steaks with bleu cheese-onion sauce. Seriously. I don’t even like bleu cheese all that much, but I could eat the sauce from this recipe with a spoon.
You can email me if I win!
We make the crash hot potatoes all the time. My kids LOVE them.
I haven’t tried any of her recipies yet, but each time I check out her site, I’m drooling over what she has on her page. I’m born and raised from Texas and all that food is familiar to me and looks SO good.
I actually planned on making her noodles that she posted a few weeks back.
PW is the bomb!
I love all of her recipes but my husband and my kids are mostly thankful for her twice baked potatoes~ :D
BTW, her site is where I found your site and now I am the luckiest person in the world!

I haven’t tried PW yet but I will definitely looking into her recipes now. That cake looks amazing. I love your site! Thanks for sharing PW.
Love all of her stuff!!!!
Never tried any of her recipes, but soo want to make this recipe soon.
I haven’t tried any of Pioneer Woman’s recipes, I have looked at her site from looking at your site when you made cake balls. I love to try new recipes. I do make the texas sheet cake and it is our family’s favorite cake. I made it into cupcakes for my child’s birthday and they were a big hit! Please let me have a copy of PW’s cookbook. I’ll put it to good use!!!
I’d love to win this!
I’ve never tried any of her recipes, but I’d like to! You should try the coffee cake next. I’d make it, because I love coffee flavored things, but my husband thinks coffee anything is gross and he wouldn’t eat it. That means I’d have to eat the whole thing myself, and that would not be a good thing. So you make it, and tell us how it is.
I’ve tried the fettuccine alfredo…it was yummy
I haven’t tried a PW reciepe yet, I just recently became a PW fan/ follower… but I REALLY want her cookbook, because she rocks and well so do you!
I haven’t had the chance to see any of PW’s recipes but I would DEFINITELY try this chocolate sheet cake recipe. My mom just recently signed me up to bake her organizations cake and she wants it to be a chocolate sheet cake. We’re going to test recipes this week so I’m looking forward to trying this one!
I have visited PW’s blog for two years now. All of her recipes look yummy! The only one I have actually made, though, is the Crash Hot Potatoes. So good! I would love to have her new cookbook. Thanks for the opportunity.
I love PW and many of her recipes, I only write many because I haven’t tried them all…yet. Thanks for the chance to win.
This recipe is similar to my mother-in-law’s fudge buttermilk cake and you are right; it is to DIE for. I made cupcakes with this recipe for my son’s fourth birthday and they were great that way too. I would love a copy of PW’s book. And I love you. Keep baking and posting your beautiful photography.
OOHH – -pick me pick me!!!!
You MUST try the apple dumplings – I made them last week for a group of friends and they scarffed them up like hotcakes! The secret ingredient in Mountain Dew and butter! YUMMMMMEE! I’m dying to get her cookbook!!!
I’ve made PW’s chicken scallopine twice at this point and neither time has it come out like I imagined. However, her pictures look so good I just keep trying…and hoping that one day it will come out perfect!!!!!!!! (and luckily, even though it wasn’t what I wanted – it was still good enough to eat!)
I have tried several of her recipes, but my favorties are the MM Fav. sandwiches 1 and 2 and the pot roast – amazing!!!
I love PW! I tried her steak sub and my hubby loved it! Can’t wait for a copy!
Thanks,

I love her sheetcake!!! Its the best!
Thanks for the introduction to PW! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, sheet cake! It really is my favorite dessert. I would love to win. Thanks!
Yes I want one, and MAKE INY’S PRUNE CAKE!!! Seriously. My husband ate it. Prune cake. MY husband. Do it.
I haven’t tried any of the PW recipes – but just volunteered to make a cake for a birthday party. . . perfect timing!!! Thanks for the delicious review/giveaway!
Pioneer Woman saved my life last Thanksgiving when I attempted to make Thanksgiving dinner at home for the first time. You must try her Acorn Squash recipe if you haven’t yet, Y-U-M… we’ll be making it every Thanksgiving and looking forward to making it this month! I would LOVE a copy of her book!
I just took a look at PW’s website and all the recipes look delicious. I definitely want to try out the rosemary dinner rolls this week. Thanks Bakerella for introducing me to her!
this is on my book list! i have tried your cake pops and i love ree’s website :D
Ya know, I’ve never tried any of her recipies…but I’m definitely intrigued now. If you call a cake “IT”, then it’s definitely worth my time. :D
I’ve tried many of her recipes and my favorite is her crash hot potato dish. I’m about to cook her cinnamon rolls with my roommate and I bet they will be fantastic.
I have made that cake and love, love, love it!!!
I haven’t heard of her before therefore I haven’t tried any of her recipes, but this cake looks delicious. And I don’t even like cake that much.
OK 1. I SHOULD NOT HAVE LOOKED AT THAT LATE ON A SUNDAY NIGHT…I WANT CAKE!!!
2. THANKS FOR INTRODUCING I’M GOING TO HAVE TO CHCEK OUT SOME RECIPES!!!!
-MISSCALABRESE@GMAIL.COM!!
I love her site! I haven’t made anything but I love her pictures! Her savory dishes seem as mouth watering as her sweet!
I don’t think I’ve tried a single PW recipe that I didn’t love. Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich, Baked Lemon Pasta, her Best Lasagna ever (it really is), her cookie dough candy… YUM. I drool when I go to her site!
I’ve only tried her Steak Bites and it is so good. I need in my life right now. As for sweets I want to try the Strawberry Shortcake Cake.
Oh my goodness! YUM! I can’t wait to head over to check out her site. THANK YOU for sharing Bakerella!
And great step-by-step photos… the pour shots make me want to make this asap!
Thanks for the chance to win :)
