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

- 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.

I had never heard of pioneer woman and i checked out her site….all I can say is mmmmmmm. I have some baking to do, a lot! :) Your posting made me hungry (of course being pregnant that doesnt’ take much!) and then just at the part of your post where you stated you wished you had some milk, I was thinking the same thing and I wasn’t even really eating it! The pictures alone made me want some milk!!!!
Looks super yummy!
I’ve been a reader of her blog for almost 2 years.
Love her and her recipes and would be absolutely thrilled to
win her new cookbook.
Thank you! I haven’t tried any of her recipes-yet, but I do enjoy her website. You have wonderful ideas of cakes and cupcakes, and hope to try some of yours soon too.
I’d love to win the cookbook! I’ve been following both you and PW ever since i stumbled onto your joint baking session. I’ve made PW’s sweet and sour meatball, and have been dreaming of them ever since. You recipes and the whole site is soooo cool, love it! Please pick me:)
I would love to win this book!! Thanks!!
I love her roasted potato wedges – so easy and so yummy!
Amy in SD
I LOVE Ree’s site and recipes, and I think she’s actually how I found your site, so that’s just one more reason to love her, lol
I’ve had chocolate sheet cake before, but it wasn’t made this way. This looks delicious! I may have to make it for my daughter’s birthday- she’s been begging for a chocolate cake this year! Maybe even sooner than her birthday! THANK YOU for linking PW’s site- I love looking through recipes, and will enjoy PW’s stuff too! Thank you!
oh man, her cinnamon rolls look to DIE for!!!!!!!! that’s what i would make next!!!
OMG’sh! You have GOT to try the bleu cheese cream sauce for over a steak. It is to DIE for! I have also made it with gorgonzola and it was de-lish!! Just found out PW will be signing books within driving distance of my house in Dec and I.AM.SO.There!
You have to try her Fourth of July cake! It is amazing! She got the recipe from another one of my favorite baking ladies, the Barefoot Contessa, Ina Garten! The frosting is to die for ( and you just might, there’s a pound of butter in it!) and the cake is dense and delicious. The berries add a little tartness to the whole thing. Overall its delicious but not overly sweet. My sister and I made it for a family gathering and there was not much left. My aunts were standing around it at 1am still cutting little pieces off saying, “just one more bite!”
Just last night I made the rosemary rolls but I have tried lots of recipes. Your site introduced me months ago!! Thanks.
Holy Smokes! This looks perfect! I think I might skip class and bake this cake instead…
WOW! That cake looks amazing. I can’t wait to get home and bake it for my family. Would love to win a copy of this cookbook – yummy!
The pie crust, I still can’t seem to get that one down.
PW’s best ever lasagna is a staple in our house.
Love PW! BBQ Meatballs, Enchiladas, Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, Banana Bread… so many good ones! All of these have been fantastic!
I LOVE PW! I have tried several of her recipes and they are always a big hit!! I’ve made her olive bread several times and people literally beg for more. Total girl food, but totally delicious!
Shellynn from shownfamily(at)sbcglobal(dot)net
So real and refreshing.. I love that she’s true to herself, and that she’s found her niche in life. True happiness comes from following your passion in life. Her book looks great!! I would love a copy!! Can’t wait to try some of the recipes!!!
Try her Mountain Dew Apple Dumplings. Oh my goodness. So easy and soooooooooooooo good.
Thank you for the introduction, checked out the site and can’t wait to make some of her delicious recipes. I am in love with her animals! Also, thanks for all the cool ideas you always share, when can we expect the Bakerella book?
OOH! I have been wanting this cookbook since she announced it on her blog! I tried the Cauliflower soup from her site! Next time I want to try the cinnamon buns!!
I love Pioneer Woman! A friend told me about her site and of course I couldn’t stop until I had read every word of the Black Heels to Tractor Wheels saga! Her Onion Strings are to die for!
Love her!! I made her pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting for our Halloween party this weekend – they were a huge hit!!
I love both you and the Pioneer Woman and would love to win a copy of her cookbook.

I love Ree and have tried several of her recipes. Her bread pudding is fabulous!! I have made the chocolate cake twice and loved it also :)
The best best best is her Strawberry Shortcake Cake!!! It’s incredible!
Who wants real food? Curious about a flat apple pie.
I’m not sure if this is in her book (this is why I need a copy!! pick me pick me!) but I am IN LOVE with her asian noodle salad. I make it for every get-together, pot luck, dinner party etc etc that I can. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
I’ve made quite a few of PW’s recipes. She’s my hero. Seriously. I love to try all sorts of recipes and have mixed results. With hers, you are pretty much guaranteed success.
Bakerella – you should definitely make her cinnamon rolls. I’m sure you could make them tiny and do something adorable with them. Cinnamon roll pops? :)
oh man it’s not strawberry season but that strawberry shortcake cake is ou tof this world. or those jalapeno popper thingys.
I just discovered Pioneer Woman’s website last week. Good stuff!!! And well, I didn’t see that chocolate cake recipe, so thanks so much for sharing. Yuuuuuuummmmmmm…..
I love the Pioneer Woman! So many of her recipes are so good. We love her chicken sandwiches with bacon and colby cheese and also the jalapeno poppers. Most of her recipes are not only easy, but tasty.
I’ve made this cake many times..as well as her pot roast, jalepeno thingies, lasagne, French breakfast puffs, cinnamon rolls, blackberry cobbler….the list goes on!
I love P-Dub!
I love PW. Though I have not made a recipe of hers yet. I have her cooking page set to my favorites. A toddler and a baby on the way is my excusse on why I havent cooked anything yet. Truthfully its because I am scared! My grandmother was is a terrible cook and so is my mother…thus i am an awful cook. I have a small collection of cook books only one of which I use. I must have this cook book. I really want the french fried onion rings. My hubby is the chef around here. I am a smart gal, married one that can cook !
Wow ~ your photos are always so yummy looking and truly mouth watering. So glad you shared Pioneer woman with us, you are the very best Bakerella. Your home must have such a delicious scent as you walk through your doors. What a way to be greeted after a long day! Thanks again Bakerella!
I loooove the PW and all her antics especially Charlie!. I’ve used several of her recipe’s but have yet to try the sheet cake. Thanks for sharing.
Within a week, this is the third or fourth blog that I have in my Reader that has said something about PW. How funny! And, now, after watching you bake that sheet cake, I am all kinds of drooling about both the cake and the cookbook. I would love to add it to my collection!
Her roasted red pepper pasta is right up my alley, and it was delicious.
I love her Olive Bread recipe- makes my man happy too!
I recently made her rosemary acorn squash. They were fabulous… Thanksgiving Dinner fabulous.
I haven’t heard of her, but I would love to try some new recipes!!!
Thank you for sharing PW chocolate sheet cake recipe. I can’t wait to try it!
I love PW! I actually found you through her website! :)
her Baked Lemon Pasta is delicious!! And that chocolate sheetcake is amazing!!!!
I would so love to win this. Been trying to figure out a way I could go to her book signing in KC a day or so before my Bday.
Great gift to give myself Huh??
I would love a copy of her cookbook please :o)
I’ve been following pioneer woman, you and cakewrecks for about a year now, inspired by you all I took some Wilton cake classes and I can’t tell you how much my baking skills have taken off! My friends, family and co-workers are not sure if this a great new hobby of mine or I am undoing all their hard work at the gym!
There are 1,000 of chocolate cake recipes out there, but I will take Your word on the best chocolate sheet cake ever! Can’t wait to try it! And I just so happen to have a jelly roll pan too!
Thanks!
I love PW too! I tried her yogurt baked chicken and it was amazing! :)
Wow… cannot believe: A. How gorgeous your site is (I had forgotten… *smacks own hand*), B. How good pictures of her pictures look, and C. How many COMMENTS there are here… ludicrous.
Nonetheless, I will share that I attempted her Cinnamon Rolls. Not once, but twice. The second was a little more successful. Not because the recipe was off, just the reader. The reader who doesn’t do Imperial measures… it was a battle. My love handles can testify that I triumphed.
:-)

pastor ryan’s bread…so good!
I haven’t tried PW’s recipes yet, but I’m thinking I should start! My birthday is this weekend and I think I need some chocolate cake! :) Thanks for the recipe!
I’ve tried her chicken spaghetti and the chocolate sheet cake..nom nom nom!
I absolutely adore pioneer woman. I follow her blog, her twitter, her facebook … you name it LOL. Amazingly, I have yet to actually try one of her recipes but I have quite a list of ones I plan on trying!
I’ve never tried any of her recipes but that cake looks amazing!
Thanks!
I just tried her sweet roasted rosemary acorn squash wedges and they were yummy!
PW rocks! {and so do you!!!}
She’s so down to earth and you’re SO VERY creative!!!
My youth group LOVES cake balls.
As for my favorite PW recipe, don’t know I can pick 1. I’m really loving the Tasty Kitchen site too!
I have tried many recipes of hers but the eggplant and pasta is so far my favorite one.
I LOVE PW!! I have tried several of her recipes and they are all amazing – my favorites so far include the French Onion Soup and Baked Lemon Pasta.
Everything I’ve made from a PW recipe has been delicious! I recommend Oatmeal Crispies (MM’s Favorite Cookies) as your next recipe…I always have some on hand! =)
I love PWs cooking. I’d love to have a copy of her cookbook.
i tried cowboy nachos, pastor ryans easy bread, and a few others. love love love PW!
I have made several recipes off her site. I love the cowgirl section, lighter recipes that are delicious! And the lasagna is so good. Seriously, try it!
Wow. I have tried so many of her recipes. We love the bacon jalapenos, chicken spaghetti, Marlboro Man’s Favorite Sandwich. She has so many awesome recipes and her photos are incredible!
I haven’t tried any of her recipes as I’ve only just known about her (I’m become addicted over the last three weeks to baking blogs, so I’m still a noob!) Nevertheless I would love to have a copy of her book so I can try out all those scrumptious recipes!
First, let me say how much I LOVE your website! And I also LOVE PW! I’m planning on making her yogurt marmalade pound cake today! Her cookbook is a MUST HAVE for me! :)
OH i read PW religiously!! I love her stuff, and i’ve tried many of her recipes. The best of which is the coffee cake…it sent me through the roof, both in flavor and caffeine. :) Just the way i like it!
http://www.sunnysideuprecipes.com
I love PW! Been reading her site for a few months and this is the first recipe I tried. It DOES belong on a pedestal!
I JUST made the Tres Leche Cake this weekend .. It was TO DIE for . Simple. Kitchy, Delightful.
I think it should be your next PW Recipe :)
I have yet to try any PW recipes only because I’m scared of falling in love with them. I am going to try her cinnamon roll recipe on Thursday for a MOPS meeting…I can’t wait :) And as for the cookbook…yummy! I would love to have my very own copy.
PW is awesome and so are you. Can’t wait to hold my copy of the cookbook in my hand…hopefully today. YEA!!! ~Martha
I began to follow PW when you blogged about your trip to the ranch. I would just love a copy of her cookbook! Thank you Bakerella!
Ohh I would love to see this Flat Apple Pie! I did join her website (thanks to your’s) but haven’t yet tried any of the recipes (I have stack and stacks waiting to try). Thank you for the intro!
I’ve tried those apple turnovers with the gingerale….looks and sounds disgusting, but omg, they were the most amazing things – served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream…
I’d love to win a book, but if not, I will definitely want to purchase one!
thx!!
PW’s molten chocolate cakes are delish!!
I absolutely adore PW! Her simple corn casserole is divine – fresh with sweet corn but rich and delicious with butter and milk. And so simple!
Thank you for introducing me to Ree! I must try this recipe! YUM!
I have tried her cinnamon rolls (so good!) and her pancakes (so good!)…I have a list of other recipes I need to try, too.
I triple love the Pioneer Woman. Definitely try the cinnamon rolls and lemon pasta. Yum!!!
Her Pasta Primavera was SOOOO Good!!! I would love a copy of this.
PW’s favorite sandwich is also MY favorite sandwich. I make it, um, a lot. Really, it’s awesome.
I have tried tons of her recipes, but so far, our favorites are either Marlboro Man’s favorite sandwich (the cube steak one), chicken spaghetti (the only casserole Marlboro Man will ever eat), the sheet cake, or the tomato artichoke spaghetti. Of course, we also love the yogurt blueberry muffins, but that came from someone else in a contest, so technically I guess it’s not HER recipe, but from her site. OH! And the panfried ribeyes, and the garlic mashed taters and the chocolate french silk pie. Hmmm….. from the “Meal of Love.” Made that one for the hubs and he loved it all! So…. my answer to what recipe have I liked from her website? Every one.
I found you and PW on the same day, through Cake Wrecks! I am now addicted to all three of you! Thanks for making my life a little more fun each day! Oh, and I wouldn’t say no to this cookbook. Yum.
I ordered this cookbook for my mom’s birthday and immediately regretted giving it away. (Sorry Mom!) I desperately want to try this chocolate sheet cake and every other recipe, so if I don’t win this I’ll be ordering it ASAP tomorrow!
I actually tried her chicken parmigiana recipe not too long ago and it was DELICIOUS!! I would love to be the lucky winner. Now I will go and cross my fingers until this evening! ;)
What a fantastic giveaway! I hope I win :)
The only recipe I have actually made (so far) from PW’s site is Onion Strings. OMG they are good! There are lots more I want to try though and the cookbook would sure make that a lot easier.
chicken spaghetti, lasanga, spreads . . yummy . .
We make PW’s bacon, cream cheese, jalepeno appetizers all the time….they are awesome!
love this cake! I’ve had it since i was a child and since it only takes 30 minutes to bake, it’s a quick one for a go-to cake.
Hi! I just discovered both you & Ree! What wonderful sites you both have. This chocolate cake looks divine! I would absolutely love a copy of her book :)
I just love Ree! I spent a whole morning just reading her “harlequin” romance one day (I mean, really, what’s more important–housework or a true-life romance story??) I have copied a bunch of her recipes, but they are still there waiting for me to make…but after getting my Southern Living last week, I may be trying one from there first anyway! Y’all are two of my favorite bloggers!
Oooh I LOVE Pioneer Woman. Her recipes are yum, YUM, yum and she is so funny toooo! Her (mother-in-law’s) Christmas rum cake is on my to-do list for this Christmas!!
I found Ree’s site about a year and a half ago when I was looking for a chocolate sheet cake recipe for my husband’s birthday cake and I’ve been a faithful follower ever since!
I just spent a good deal of my Friday reading (beginning to end) her “romance.” I am officially addicted.
Ree’s Cinnamon Rolls are too die! I think that’s all I have made from her, but this cake has been on my list for months. I’ll probably bust it out for the holidays.
Oh the dump cake. My dear husband doesn’t like cherries or pineapple so I’m forced to sit and look at this recipe and drool. But I can always go with more drool-worthy pictures!
I’ve made a few of PW’s recipes & they’ve all been delicious. The latest was her Crash Hot Potatoes. Very yummy! My kids loved them & we fought over the last one!
I love everything I have made on her site! I really like the lasagna!!
I love Chocolate Sheet Cake. I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing it with us!
luckyladybug78@msn.com
Thank you for the chance to win!!!
Rhonda Bracaloni
Not your grammas mac and cheese. SO GOOD.
I’ve tried some of PW’s recipes, one of her breakfast casseroles and her glazed carrots! Yum!
We Southern Girls have been making a version of this cake and taking it to church dinners, potlucks, and family get-togethers for years. I was curious about PW’s recipe because it uses 4 tablespoons of cocoa instead of 3. My husband likes the more intense chocolate taste the additional tablespoon adds. However, I have to say that no ‘self-respecting southern girl’ would ever bake this or any other sheet cake on a jelly roll pan. Got to use that old stand-by, the 9×13! And yes, this cake is good for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
I love the Pioneer Woman and I’m thrilled that she has a cookbook! I have tried quite a few of her recipes, but my favorite lately is the Crash Hot Potatoes. I make them several times a week! I was actually planning to try her Chicken Spaghetti this week! I haven’t tried any of her desserts yet, but I have a ton of her recipes printed out and stored in my recipe cabinet (yes, I have an entire cabinet devoted to recipes)! This cake looks TDF!!!
You betcha! I like her salsas–very fresh–and I’ve tried some breads. Yum. I’m trying to cut out the sweets, otherwise I’d be all over that sheet cake. Thanks, Bakerella.
While I read every day – the first thing I’ve actually made were her rosemary dinner rolls. Which were to DIE for and the easiest thing ever. LOVE PW!
I think you should make the French Breakfast Puffs… sounds wonderful. I would LOVE a copy of her book. Great photos Bakerella!
Of course I have tried them and she is coming on her book tour to Nashville in December. i can’t wait to get my copy signed.
I enjoy both of your posts and would love to win a PW cookbook!
Looks yummy. I would love to try them all. By the way, off subject, I’ve been dying to try my hand at cake pops, so I made them for a halloween party. Big hit. EVERYBODY raved about them. Not only how cute they were, but how delicious the were. Thanks for the awesome idea!
I tried her acorn squash recipe last year. She makes me drool with every post!
I love Chocolate Sheet Cake!! I can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing it with us!
luckyladybug78@msn.com
I love PW! She’s the reason I found your site! :) I’ve made several of her recipes and you really can’t go wrong with any of them! I love her Lasagna and the Crash Hot Potatoes are great too. I ~so~ hope I win a copy of her book! :)
A new staple in our home: Pioneer Woman’s Spicy Orange Garlic Shrimp! I double the sauce, sometimes add peas and serve it over rice. Oh my!! It’s fabulous! And super quick and easy! My kind of recipe!
I’ve tried tons of her recipes, including the sheet cake (BIG hit at work!), Marlboro Man’s sandwich (MMMM), lasagna (it IS the best, too!), cheese bread, some kind of chicken/bacon sandwich….yeah, pretty much everything is a hit! Except for Pastor Ryan’s Carbonara. But, you know, that’s not P-Dub.
I love PW. I actually made her mac and cheese over the weekend. It was so yummy.
fatgirl1982@gmail.com
I haven’t personally tried any of her recipes, but my sister has made a few & they’re great!
I’ve tried a few of PW’s recipes and this cake is VERY popular around my house! It’s become the go-to birthday cake for my husband because it’s big enough to fit all his candles!
Either of MM’s sandwiches are fantastic. I’m partial to his second favorite, but my hubby prefers the original.
What haven’t I tried from PW? :) I love her carrot cake! The brisket recipe is fabulous and the wild rice and squash casserole. Yum!! Thanks!
I have tried a couple recipes from Crashed potatoes to a couple others. I really want to try her chocolate cake and cinnamon rolls :)
blackberry cobbler, OH how i LOVE that recipe!
the one with the batter!
my hubby LOVES it!
gotta love PW!
pwrlftrchick@yahoo.com
I have tried many of her recipes. Everything she cooks looks amazing and tastes even better! So far my favorite recipe of her’s is for her Blackberry Cobbler. I don’t need to look up the recipe anymore I know it by heart! It’s easy and really delicious!
I also get asked to make her Queso frequently!
Aside from loving cookbooks of all kinds, all the the things I’ve seen through your visit to PW and the recipes mentioned by other commentors, I would definitely love a copy of that book! And that chocolate sheet cake…oh, it would definitely hit the spot for breakfast…yep. I said “breakfast”… :)
I’ve made several PW recipes, but my favorite is the Apricot Bars. I could eat and eat those.
This cake reminds me of the wonderfully delicious, yet simple, cakes my mom made me over 50 years ago. There was always a home made cake or pie for dinner – thus my addiction to sweets! I am going to make this cake this weekend with my granddaughter. A slice of chocolate cake, a quart of ice cold milk – may family traditions continue!!!
I have tried her bakes beans and they are awesome!!! I would LOVE a copy of her cookbook! Thanks so much for the chance!
I love her stuff! I’ve made some zucchini cakes/patties from her website that were so yummy! All her stuff is great! Would love a cookbook from her!
PW’s stuffing (dressing) recipe saved my Thanksgiving dinner this year! We are never going back to the box stuff. Her turkey prep instructions were also very helpful though I made my own brine as I didn’t want to run out to William-Sonoma.
I’d love a copy of her book. Her photography is gorgeous so I expect this book to be a big inspiration if it were sitting on my bookshelf.
What a great gift!! Love both websites — check them out every day!!
The LASAGNA! Merciful heaven, the lasagna is to die for!
I would love a copy of the book!!
I really NEED this cookbook. LOL I love PW too and wait on tip toes for her daily updates. I just tried her Rosemary yeast rolls. YUMO!!! I am making them for our thanksgiving meal this year.
I’ve made the cinnon rolls! Yummy!!
Well it’s not a dessert…but oh so yummy Cauliflower Soup!!! It’s sooo good, and very easy to make!..Thats what I love about Pdub…She makes everything easy!!!…If I do have the pleasure of winning A copy of The Pioneer Women Cooks, it’s going striaght to my sis for her birthday…but i guess if she enters this and happens to see this…oh well!!! She deserves it!!!! Love you Sis!!!
Thankz Bakerella!!!
you should make the peach crisp next!!
samma721@gmail.com
i agree. This is my husband’s favorite chocolate cake. Don’t fret about using a jelly roll pan. I put it in a 9 x 13 and bake it accordingly.
I’d love a copy of PW’s book. I’ve tried her “favourite salad” (can’t remember the real name) and it’s my favourite salad now too! I’ve also made her olive cheese bread (it’s one of those “glad I ate that” kind of foods) and I’ve made her prune cake.
PW rocks. So do you. :D
I LOVE Ree….. I was drawn to her site for her photography…but it is her great wit and great recipe’s that keep me coming back….every day actually! Yes I have tried quite a few of her recipes…..and would LOVE LOVE LOVE the cook book!
Thank you for introducing me to Pioneer Woman…that cake looks absolutely DIVINE, and I can’t wait to make it!
Pick me, pick me, pick me!!!
Great photos! I’ve made and love PW’s Crash Hot Potatoes. I hope I’m your lucky number, but I see there’s quite a bit of competition. =)
I used to check out her site all the time and for some reason have stopped — must get back!! I have tried out a couple of her chicken recipes, as well as a homeade bread one. It was delicious!!!
I love PW! At home, during the summer, we make her farfalle with zucchini pretty much every week.
You need to take this recipe(http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/10/moist-pumpkin-spice-muffins-with-cream-cheese-frosting/) and make some pumpkin pops for Thanksgiving!!!
And how about something for Veteran’s Day? My brother’s overseas and his wife is who introduced me to you a year ago. My baby sister is stationed in Alaska and is a huge fan of yours as well! Need to be “mailable” (think STURDIER and NON-REFRIGERATED). Any clues besides same old snickerdoodles (which, BTW, apparently mail great!)
Thanks for this recipe! AND the info on her book! (When’s YOURS?) I LOVE her blog (which I also wouldn’t have found without you)…PW AND Cake Pops…You are making a difference in my life! LOL
PW is the best. I have made this sheet cake and it’s impossible not to scoop out a corner like you did. Gosh this is wrecking havoc on my diet!
I haven’t tried any of PW recipies – but they look AMAZING! I think I would want to try the Maple Pecan Scones next – scones are just perfect for the cold mornings with coffee!!!
I’ve heard of the Pioneer Woman for several years, but have never really explored her site. I’d love to win the cookbook so that I can check her recipes out!
Ree rocks! Her sun-dried tomato pasta salad is really good! So much flavor ~ sort of a summer thing, but it is really yum!!! And her jalepeno wrapped thingies are always requested at family events now ~ easy and delish :) alexandradavis05 at hotmail dot com
My girlfriend and I love her site! We make her recipes all the time. For your next one, I highly suggest trying her maple frosted cinnamon rolls. They are insanely good.
I have tried LOTS of her stuff all 100% good. My fav has to be the Chocolate pie!
I visit PW on occasion – I would love to try some of her recipes!
I haven’t gotten around to making it yet, but I have been drooling over PW’s baked fudge for a while!
I love her “green beans one way”. Super Yummy!
Pioneer Woman AND Bakerella rock!
Hi Bakerella! I love your site and want to thank you for introducing me to PW. I’m going to try the chocolate sheet cake!
I have made a few recipes from her site- I TRIED to make the spicy, er maybe Mexican (?) mac n cheese, but it was a flop because I am the worst cook ever. My sister and I made her enchiladas, which were delicious- and turned out well because my sister was there to balance out my negative cooking vibes.
Mmmmmmmm
I’ve never tried any of PW’s recipes but, since I have a soft spot for those, I’d go for the Cinnamon Rolls! :)
Thank you for introducing me! That sheet cake looks divine and I can’t wait to make it and other recipes of hers.
I love her Chicken Spaghetti.
Oh my goodness, that looks like pure chocolate heaven! I a little embarressed to admit that I’ve never heard of PW :( But not for long! Thanks for showing this, it looks soooo good!
i made last weekend the PW chocolate truffles! delisscccious! i just missed the salt since i can’t find any handmade one, but i will make them again and give away as christmas presents ^_^
i would make this cake right away but i’m on diet T___T so i just watch and suffer and hope for better times when i’ll have lost some weight and will be able to delight myself with cakes again. sob :(
Oh my, to get PW’s cookbook from you would be amazing. PW and Bakerella are my heroes! My husband thanks you for inspiring me to bake again!
I loove your blog and I love The Pioneer Woman. I’d like to try more of her recipes, I did try the Mac and cheese one, and it turned out delicious!
My daughter introduced me to your site. I’m a fan and love to tell everyone about it. I need to check out PW’ site now.
OMG, never heard of PW before, but thank you sooooo much for the post. I cannot wait to make this cake for my family. Luckily, we’ve got lots of people around to share it with. Wait, is that lucky ;) Looks like a little slice of heaven :)
I absolutely love PW’s recipes. I have made her parmesan chicken four times in this past week (yes, it’s that good). I believe I have tried about half of the recipes on her site and some are forever going to be a common meal at my home.
I am so excited! I lost a recipe much like this years ago (called Texas Sheet Cake) and it was my go-to. I have been looking for something like it ever since. Thank you, Bakerella! Love it!!
PW is the best! My all-time favorite recipe on her site is PW’s Spicy Pulled Pork. I swear I could eat it every day and not get tired of it.
OMG – that looks amazing. The pouring photographs are stunning and really made my mouth water. The whole time I was reading your post, I was thinking, “I HAVE TO BUY THAT COOKBOOK!” Maybe I’ll win it instead …
:)

I’m actually sad that I haven’t “let” myself try her recipes because I’m currently trying to lose some weight. But I always want to try her desserts so badly. I follow her cooking blog and she’s just awesome. The cookbook would be a great addition to my collection! =)
I made her potato salad and it was DE.LIC.IOUS!!! I haven’t gotten her cookbook yet, but I OH SO WANT IT!!!!
That cake looks amazing. Ive been wanting a 12×18 pan for pumpkin bars, but it seemed silly to buy a pan for only one recipe….now I have a reason!
Love the cake and really WANT this book!!!
When I’m not looking at her website, I’m looking at yours! *goes off to bake* ^__^
Pasta Alfredo for sure!!
I have not tried any of her recipes, but I may have to start!! I would love a copy of the book!
I only know of PW through you but I am definitely going to check out her website now. Or maybe that’s not such a good idea seeing as I started a pre-wedding diet today…!
I love both of you guys.
I have made her Olive Bread, Cow Boy sandwiches (MM favorite), Black eye pea salad, Bacon wrapped jalapenos…I know there is more but I’m drooling to much already and flooded my keyboard
I love PW. I haven’t made anything of hers yet but I have lots of recipes on my to do list.
I love love love PW’s BBQ meatballs, pasta w/roasted red pepper sauce, potato bundles, and of course her tres leches cake! Yum!!
ooooh ooooh pick me pick me!! ive tried a few recipes from her and they are all awesome! my favorite is probably the homemade mac and cheese!! mmmmm!
I made the oatmeal crispies for Halloween. Delicious!!!!!
I would love to have a copy of this cookbook! I do so love cookbooks!
PW is great! I spend most of my time on her photography page…she is so talented. Just like you! Such inspiring ladies!
I hadn’t heard of her but that sheet cake looks divine! I would love to win her recipe book, looks delicious!
I recently tried Ree’s Chicken Tikka Masala and her Chicken Salad — both delicious. Thanks, Bakerella, for getting me hooked on the PW!
I just made my first PW recipe this weekend — crash hot potatoes — and they were OH so delicious! Can’t wait to get the cookbook!
This cake looks awesome!! I am definitely going to have to try it out ASAP!
I’ve made several of her recipes for my family. The favorite seems to be the jalapeno poppers. My kids and grandkids seem to eat ranch dressing on everything, and her home made ranch dressing, as my grandson says, is awesome.
I made her Chili for a friend recovering from surgery, Saturday. It was spicy but very good.

I want to try the Tres Leches cake!!
I absolutely love her pasta primavera. Delicious! She has an article about her in this current issue of Southern Living Magazine as well.
I love her lasagna recipe! But right now I’m craving sheet cake, thanks to you!
I had never heard of PW until your visit and now I see this very yummy looking cake..I MUST try it!!!
Hopefully I get to try many recipes out of this cookbook :-)
Thanks!

I LOVE her rosemary rolls, oh my GOD. I just ate one for breakfast… and I had 4 last night with dinner. I know they’re not sweet type things, but it’s still baking! And they’ll make your life so much happier, honest.
But the cinnamon rolls look amazing too… and if I had the right size pan, I’d totally make that sheet cake.

I love her recipes, but my favorite has to be the risotto – I’d never been able to really figure it out till I used her recipe!

Nope, never heard of PW, but am excited to check out her site!! I have been making Texas Sheet Cake for years, YUM. And cant wait to try the others you listed.

i’ve made the lasagne, the cinnamon rolls, and a few baked goods (both sweet and savory). the cinnamon rolls are TO DIE FOR and the recipe makes a whole bunch, so you can pass them around. my neighbors love them!
I LOVE her cinnamon rolls! I’m sure you’ve tried it already but you should make them again. Oh, her mac and cheese is to die for too. Oh, and her cheese bread. You should make all of those.
