Plant-Based Texas Sheet Cake 

I am just so so glad I found Y'all!!! I am from Texas and have made MANY MANY MANY Texas Sheet Cakes!! I have just started PlantBased 4 months ago, so this is Fantastic!! I just ordered 2 more of Y'all's Family CookBooks!!! Love y'all's Energy!!!!!!! Thank You!!!!

A combination of AP flour and oat flour is really good. I've only just "discovered" oat flour and I'm an experienced cook and baker with 62 years experience! I'm having fun just experimenting with it right now, but having worked a lot with coconut flour and almond flour, I knew going in that oat flour would be a bit tricky. A great cup of coffee does the trick of getting the baked goods down "in a most delightful way," as the song from "Mary Poppins" goes.

I just adore these two lovely ladies. So enjoy their presentations of really good recipes but will watch just to see them.

I’m a plant based newbie and have learned a lot from these two gorgeous ladies! I received the results of my latest cholesterol test today. Total Chol: 149 from 277. LDL 92 from 158, all within only 2 months. Still need to get down a bit further, but thank you Esselstyn family for showing us how to do it!!

I love these two ladies also. So down to earth. And I love the mother daughter relationship!!! Funny!!

It was a little watery because you used dry measuring cups for the liquids instead of liquid measuring cups. Makes a difference. You two are such a great team!

Was waiting to see a slice of it!! I bet it looks amazing and tastes delicious 😋

Mix your wet ingredients all together and then add to the dry and you won’t have clumps. It’s not Ann’s fault. Lol

Texas here!!! That Ohio Sheet Cake looks amazing. Gonna try it. Yes family recipes are our treasures. In the part of Tx I grew up in its all about the filé gumbo. I have managed to cobble together a vegan version. BTW I am gonna be that girl.. Its Pah- Kahn for pecans. A word derived from a American Indigenous word for pecans or nuts in general.

Yum. I’ll have to make this. My family doesn’t know I use plant based foods in the majority of recipes. I don’t use vinegar but I think it would be ok to sub with fresh lemon juice. You two are Awesome. Lori

Looks great! Ladies: FYI the top of a vanilla jar is one teaspoon! :)

Mine will be a Zimbabwe sheet cake. Looks amazing.

Sweet sweet ladies so natural and great cooks. Just love you gals

Y’all are a delight! 🥰

Texas sheet is one of my favorite cakes ever. When I first got the recipe around 40ish years ago we made it at least once a week. My cousin always had the best recipes to share. I don’t use nuts in mine though. And since I am a Texan, I’ll just go ahead and call it by it’s Texan name. I’m always looking out for things my son can eat, he’s been a vegan (99.9%) for around 10 years or so.

This is the first time I have watched you and what a fantastic recipe to start on! I can't wait to try this in the UK. Thanks for sharing x

I just put the cake in the oven, can't wait to try it! Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes!

Ann is the cutest!!!! She makes me so happy!! 😍

Mines is definitely a super dooper SCOTTISH sheet cake! (ok, but I now live on Mallorca.. but hey ho!)

Looks so Yummy! Thanks for sharing!

Just purchased your cookbook! So excited!!

Looks so delicious! Going forward swirls will be called squirrels 😅 love it!!

Thank you for saying “puh CONS”!!! And, it so much more fun to say “squirrels” than swirls. I think I will start saying that now… This recipe looks so easy and yum.

We’ve been making a version of Texas Sheet Cake in Arizona for 40 years. It is the best for a crowd. Jane, can’t find link to recipe for your frosting?

Ladies, This looks so easy and so delicious! I gotta make it for the next potluck😘

OMG! Looks delicious. I'm gonna create a Cincinnati- Cleveland, Ohio Texas Sheet Cake w Pecans!!

O-H-I-O! Looks delicious 😋

I am looking at the book I purchased, the one linked in the description below (sold on Amazon), and page 260 has a Lime Custard Tart. What book do I need to find this recipe in print?

Do you think you could use yeast instead of soda and carob instead of chocolate?

Mines in the oven right now.

So fun! Holy Jerusalem! LOL

We'll make a Siem Reap, sheet cake!

Use a spatula, it's much easier to stir!

Recycling....don't put the lids on when recycling, in particular if they are plastic, TY.

Hello fellow Buckeyes!! Went plant based a month ago. Could I substitute sugar free syrup for the maple syrup and sugar free applesauce for your amount of applesauce you added? I am also doing low sugar or sugar free as I am borderline diabetic. It's only myself here, you said you doubled the recipe, it's too much for only one or two people, can you edit and add the original recipe. I can't find the link to the frosting :( Nutritional values ????

Dear Ann and Jane, thanks for all your delicious recipes! Is there a reason as to why you lovely ladies always seem in a hurry or rush to end your cooking sessions? I would like to suggest that you both take the time at the end to taste the food and describe the flavors to your viewing audience. In this session, you did not even taste the sheet cake and were in a hurry to end the session. Hope you will reconsider how you end your video sessions. Thank you!

🙄the ad before the video that I got was that quack Gundry encouraging people to do shots of olive oil!🙄

You didn’t try it. Who makes a cake and doesn’t try it. You lost me with the tofu frosting.

I have all of Ann, Jane snd Rip’s recipes/cookbooks. Such an inspiring family. My husband needed to reverse his heart disease; following Dr E’s book to the letter, with me following Ann, Jane and Rip, he has done just that in 13 months. Thank you for your great work, inspiring so many.

I love watching these two ladies they are so funny especially Ann, they are so down to earth. God blessed you both,🍂🍁🍰🍓

Just made it! I used date syrup instead of maple syrup!! It’s amazing! I also only had ACV and no white vinegar. I am eating it without frosting!! Incredible!

Give Ann a whisk, poor woman! 😂 That looks soo delicious 🤤 I’ve been baking the Engine Oatmeal Raisin cookies for my 4-year old and we both LOVE them, they’ve become a regular in our house 💜❤️💙 Love you guys so much x x

Looks magnificent and I would have loved to see it sliced!

Chocolate Sheet cake is our family’s tradition! We call it “cowboy cake”. I have no idea why, other than that’s what the recipe handed down is titled. I’m thrilled to try your plant only version. I’m the only vegan in my family so it will be fun to make this at Christmas and see what everyone thinks!

I think you should call it Squirrel Swirl Cake in honor of Ann :)

Gonna make this and call it an Idaho sheet cake!! Thanks for sharing! I love you guys! Went plant based Feb 1, 2022 and already feeling so much better! You are changing the world!!❤️❤️

Too bad you didn’t show us a slice of it

I can't afford to buy books, can you tell me where to find this Recipe written, so I can make sure I have it right. I'm 70, started Vegan 2 years ago, bc of Animals. Surprised to lose 47 lbs, struggled with weight All my life. 267 to 220. Anyway, I have diabetes and heart, and haven't been feeling good. Dr won't do blood tests to check B's and whatever I'm sure I'm not doing this right I could sure use some help before I end up really sick... Thank you and may God bless 🙏💙✝️ I really enjoy these videos they're uplifting and I'm all alone

Surprised you get so much done in a shoot, you two are hysterical, and probably keep everyone including your Essy, in stitches always. Thank you both, and the good doctor too, you've enriched my life so greatly. Discovered you back in the beginnings of TTAC, and have learned so much. You make this lifestyle fun and attractive, while, at the same time emphasizing the importance and value of caring for the temple that God has given us to live in. love and blessings to you all. David

The cake looks amazing! I can't wait to give it a try!!

Add some cinnamon and make it a “Mexican” sheet cake!

In our building we leave each other food at Christmas time and this looks ideal for my contribution though I think I might not make a sheet cake but a double layer cake with the tofu cream in the middle and the cream and walnuts on top.

Warning note for woman: Stick to a proper balanced diet and don't overdo it on plants. From the 2015 BMC article, "Oxalate induces breast cancer" Not risk, or maybe, or might or it could. "We measured oxalate concentration in both human breast tumor tissues and adjoining non-pathological breast tissues. We found that all tested breast tumor tissues contain a higher concentration of oxalates than their counterpart non-pathological breast tissue." Read the whole article.

You guys warm my heart! So fun and loving! Now come on Jane, give your mom a whisk next tim and there wont be lumps!!!! Love you guys so much.

Thank you! I am from Texas and have missed this sheet cake since going plant based. Can’t wait to try this recipe!

Amazing...going to try! Blessings 🙏 from Holy Jerusalem 😊

I wished they had cut into this for taste and texture. I've made other baked good and w oat flour came out like a dense sponge.

Very happy to see this recipe! My Grandmother used to make Texas sheet cake and banana bread all the time. Figured out the banana bread without oil, milk or eggs 😊, but didn’t know where to start on the Texas Sheet cake. This is a great recipe and I’ll be giving it a try 😊

I just told my husband “well, I know what we’re having for dessert, tonight.”

Ann sneaking that pecan 🤣😂 You can warm the tofu frosting up on low on the stovetop. Doesn't need to be more than very warm

@2:01 - 2:12 Is one of the reasons I love Jane!

I love the enthusiasm and humor! Can't wait to make my Idaho sheet cake. 😄

Please put recipe in comments

I grew up Texas Sheetcake. I couldn't have imagined a vegan version. I will have to try this. Thanks!!

I ❤ You So,Much Las Quiero Mucho.Thank you for all the Inspiration You Both Rock...Dios las Bendiga Muchooo ❤P.s..Your Familia is the Most Beautiful Familia..Bless,Bless your Familia

Looks really delicious and yummy such a good idea 🌺🌷💕🌺🌷💕🌺🌷💕🌺🌷💕🌺🌷💕

Granted, no animals were killed and no dairy or egg was used to make the cake. However, what of all that maple syrup? Since when did Dr. Esselstyn approve of all that sugar, maple notwithstanding? Since when did Dr. Esselstyn overcome skepticism about tofu? Since when is the sodium from the baking soda disregarded? Are the benefits of the oat flour and the cocoa making all OK anyway??? Did the acetic acid in the vinegar defuse the bicarb?

Living alone, I think I'll make little mini cupcakes with the recipe and freeze the extras. I love the idea of oat flour. Good and good for you. It would be helpful if you guys could turn the products you use to the camera so we can see the brand names. I pretty much use anything you recommend. Wish we had a Whole Foods down here in the hinterland, though .... so many of your ingredients are 365. Thanks for another great recipe.

Why didn't you eat it on the video?

So glad to see so many views from one day online!!!! Sometimes its disheartening when such urgent YT presentations get so few views when there are millions of us doing activism. We need MILLIONS of views. Keep sharing.

This looks fabulous! And the chocolate frosting I definitely need to make. Thanks so much.

Hi from Brisbane Australia, my cookbook have arrived. It is a fabulous book.

Where can we find the written recipe? Thank you.

I would appreciate your help with this: I purchased the book listed in your description looking exclusively for this recipe. It is the only reason I bought this book. I cannot find this recipe on page 260. I cannot find a recipe that remotely resembles this recipe. I would appreciate some clarification. I have spent money and gotten nothing in return. I realize there are other recipes, but this is the one that I was looking for. What help can you give me? I bought the book as a Kindle edition. I don't think that should make any difference.

I went plant based two months ago and my birthday is on Monday. I’ve been craving chocolate cake so you video comes at the perfect time. So I will make an Ohio cake for my birthday since I also live in Ohio.

Your so funny. " ITS LIKE A 🎂 CAKE" Ann Jane " it is a cake" ha ha 😂 Yes a cake does not need to have eggs or dairy to be called a cake. There are no cake rules.

Looks wonderful Just wondering your opinion on the New Consumer Report studies that show many brands of cocoa have high levels of lead?

Did anyone make this cake? I eat Whole Food Plant Based but my spouse and friends don't. Sometimes I need to bring a dish, and am wanting to find a dessert I can make that tastes good to everyone. I have yet to find one. I've been on this new diet for 2 years and it's very difficult to find good recipes.

Omg i doubled the recipe and its STILL in the oven over an hour not cake like yet YIKES what did i do wrong its in a sheet pan like you guys did yikes still wet:(

I follow a very low histamine diet, I cannot have soy, can you suggest a sub for tofu please 🙏🏻 with thanks 😘

Ann doesn’t have time for chit chat today

Looks awesome! Disappointed you didn’t cut into it ☹️

Just LOVE Mom's facial expressions!!

You ladies are great! Can you tell me what's your favorite recipe from Rip Esselstyn's book "My Beef With Meat" thank you

Where can I find the written recipe with all the amounts of each ingredient?

I always add the vinegar last . Then you can stir it without loosing any of the action between baking soda and vinegar

If it is 6 tb why translate it to different measuement? It is 6 Tbsp. So anoying .

I totally missed how they made the frosting. Is there a link to another video for the frosting?

Where is the recipe? So many links in info, but I can't find the recipe.

Why didn’t they dig in?!

That looks delicious!!! Can't wait to give it a try! Buckinghamshire sheet cake, lol 🇬🇧

I use cocoa powder with a poofy brush to give myself a vegan tan

Texas sheet cake is so good. That extra runny batter makes it extra moist :D

The Buckeye in me says to use peanuts (although not as healthy). Looks delicious. I’ll have to try this when we’re gathering again

Looks awesome, Ladies!! I wish you all had taken a piece and tried it. I think I may make that today!! Thanks for the recipe!!

Great looking cake, wish you cut slice to see texture of cake

Looks amazing. When I'm finished my 40 day fast and have transitioned back into whole plant foods, I'll give this a whirl. Here's a simple very easy trick for forming a design in the frosting: (first of all flip the cake onto a flat platter) Then, after you've spread the frosting over the bottom, that is now the top of the cake, take a teaspoon or tablespoon and draw straight lines diagonally across the cake. This will form nice even furrows diagonally across the cake. Next, using a butter knife, lightly drag it across the furrows diagonally in the opposite direction of the furrows making diagonal lines about an inch to 1½" apart. As the knife moves through the furrows, it drags some of the frosting with it, which creates a very interesting pattern. It looks so pretty, you might want to skip the nuts, but I guess that would break the tradition of the sheet cake. I love watching you guys. You're both so funny and always add a great deal of cheer to my day. Anne, you are such an inspiration for me to stick to whole plant foods SOS free. You're bursting with energy and humor, which just shows how energizing the whole plant foods diet is. Thank you so much for the generosity you both expend to teach this otherwise daunting task of learning the whole plant foods lifestyle. I truly appreciate your efforts.

I am a native Texan and that looks delicious! I'm DEFINITELY going to be baking this Plant Strong "Texas" Sheet Cake!!

I made this recipe exactly as instructed but it came out very thin and I had to bake it for close to 40 min. It was still very good though and I loved that it wasn’t too sweet. As a type 2 diabetic my blood sugar didn’t go too high after enjoying this treat. Thank you both for sharing your wonderful recipes.

You guys are great. I went plant based durning COVID. Help with body pain. But my mouth not so much for me with dental implants. Hard to find right d3 calcium magnesium ratio...love tofu and tempeh...
