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 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 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!!!!
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!
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.
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
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!!❤️❤️
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 😊
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!
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
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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Just made a 1/3 recipe size. Used my sons sweet potato/banana/chocolate pudding as a frosting. So fricken good. I`ve been craving cake and this hit the spot. Thank You for my new Michigan Sheet Cake on this snowy winter day.
Wow fantastic recipe I have all the ingredients and will take to the next weekly bible study group to share! Looks wonderful and so easy plus incredibly quick to make!
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.
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.
Chocolate sheet cake is very popular in here Utah due to large families and church functions so I am happy to try this version. It is a particular favorite of my son so he will be the first guinea pig! So enjoy watching you two! Thanks for all the great info!
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.
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?
I'm gonna try this once our plant based potlucks start again. I think I would let the chocolate frosting set on the stove while the cake is baking and heat it up, I definitely might put the nuts on before the frosting, just to see how it works out
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
If your library has My Beef With Meat or Plant Strong by Rip Esselstyn, you will find the recipe for Adonis Cake and Adonis Frosting in the book. They just doubled the recipe to turn it into a sheet cake, and then added toasted pecans.
Wait a second, you can't steal a whole cake just bc you changed the recipe 🤣 The end result is a Texas sheet cake though the ingredients are healthy. There's that proud ownership you mentioned...but that describes Texans about pretty near everything Texan 😘 My grandma is basically the queen of Texas sheet cakes. She has made very many of these for weddings and parties and just because throughout the years. We put pecan bits in the frosting and pecan halves on top. She likes to put frosted grapes and strawberries on top. I can't wait to try this healthy version and serve it to my grandma/queen to see what she thinks!
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.
I’m just getting up for work so I’m enjoying with a cup of coffee, but I’m wondering if the intent was to drop at 4pm EST so as to capture all US time zones. That said, many countries are up ( globally) and well into their day.
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...

👍
Totally agree Nitza! Thanks Jane and Ann!! :)
I just adore these two lovely ladies. So enjoy their presentations of really good recipes but will watch just to see them.
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!

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!!❤️❤️
Me too. Idaho Sheet cake!
Looks magnificent and I would have loved to see it sliced!
I would have like to see a slice too! I don't know if we could've handled that though! LOL
Exactly
I love the enthusiasm and humor! Can't wait to make my Idaho sheet cake. 😄
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.
@2:01 - 2:12 Is one of the reasons I love Jane!
💩 lol Eat your oats!!!
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
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 😊
Just LOVE Mom's facial expressions!!
Was waiting to see a slice of it!! I bet it looks amazing and tastes delicious 😋
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!
Thank you! Made me wonder if they measure everything that way!?
seemed to turn out fine, been cooking and baking for 40 years, never have I used any special cups, may have to try it😉.
Thank you! I am from Texas and have missed this sheet cake since going plant based. Can’t wait to try this recipe!
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

Let us know how it goes
Yes make it but don’t say it’s plant based until it’s all gone 😁😋😋😋😋😋
Did your relatives like the Ohio plant-based version of Cowboy Cake?
Looks great! Ladies: FYI the top of a vanilla jar is one teaspoon! :)
I am a native Texan and that looks delicious! I'm DEFINITELY going to be baking this Plant Strong "Texas" Sheet Cake!!
Sweet sweet ladies so natural and great cooks. Just love you gals
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.

The cake looks amazing! I can't wait to give it a try!!
Looks really delicious and yummy such a good idea 🌺🌷💕🌺🌷💕🌺🌷💕🌺🌷💕🌺🌷💕
Jane! I love your mother so much! She's simply adorable!!! Great recipe, I will try it! Thank you!
I've made Adonis Cake many times. Love this sheet cake version, especially for holiday gatherings. Thank you Jane and Ann for always keeping it real!
Is it the same recipe?
Mine will be a Zimbabwe sheet cake. Looks amazing.
Hi from Brisbane Australia, my cookbook have arrived. It is a fabulous book.
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

Maybe cupcake version?
Ohhh yes what a great idea 😋😋😋😋
This looks fabulous! And the chocolate frosting I definitely need to make. Thanks so much.

Is this recipe written down somewhere for the plant based chocolate cake?
I grew up Texas Sheetcake. I couldn't have imagined a vegan version. I will have to try this. Thanks!!
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
Amazing...going to try! Blessings 🙏 from Holy Jerusalem 😊
I just love watching you two cook together. I’d love to watch a question and answer video too🎄
Happy Holidays !!!!
My mouth is drooling.
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!!
Why a taste test just to hear them say, "yum!"? I appreciate no taste tests because theyre a waste of time.
I know right?? First rule of recipes on TH-cam is tasting at the end, so disappointing....
Agreed. Would've liked to have seen how it stayed together
Wow fantastic recipe I have all the ingredients and will take to the next weekly bible study group to share! Looks wonderful and so easy plus incredibly quick to make!
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.

Fabulous to watch you beautiful lady’s work looks amazing I will be trying this out soon
I’m new to your channel blessing from the uk
That looks delicious!!! Can't wait to give it a try! Buckinghamshire sheet cake, lol 🇬🇧
I just put the cake in the oven, can't wait to try it! Thank you for sharing these wonderful recipes!
Mines is definitely a super dooper SCOTTISH sheet cake! (ok, but I now live on Mallorca.. but hey ho!)
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
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
Chocolate sheet cake is very popular in here Utah due to large families and church functions so I am happy to try this version. It is a particular favorite of my son so he will be the first guinea pig! So enjoy watching you two! Thanks for all the great info!
Would love to know what workouts you both do each day to keep fit. Maybe you could do a week of your exercise programs and what you eat over that week
Super suggestion !
This is a cooking channel not exercise.
👍 great suggestion, this would be so cool!
Thank goodness for your cake!
I love chocolate sheet cake. Yum. My sister puts cinnamon in hers. Glazed icing no nuts though. She's allergic. Pecan and chocolate is yum.
Looks fabulous!
Very nice indeed!!!✝️❤️❤️🙏🙏
Ann is the cutest!!!! She makes me so happy!! 😍
oh wow, this looks soooo yummy. Can't wait to make it.
Just ordered your book! Can’t wait!
Great looking cake, wish you cut slice to see texture of cake
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.

Good idea to freeze!!
I think you should call it Squirrel Swirl Cake in honor of Ann :)
Looks so Yummy! Thanks for sharing!
😊 Thank-you for sharing xxx
Looks wonderful
Just wondering your opinion on the New Consumer Report studies that show many brands of cocoa have high levels of lead?
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?
I would like it too! 😊
I totally missed how they made the frosting. Is there a link to another video for the frosting?
You ladies are great! Can you tell me what's your favorite recipe from Rip Esselstyn's book "My Beef With Meat" thank you
I'm gonna try this once our plant based potlucks start again. I think I would let the chocolate frosting set on the stove while the cake is baking and heat it up, I definitely might put the nuts on before the frosting, just to see how it works out
6 TB is 1/3 SCANT cup of the cocoa powder. Looks yummy!!
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
If your library has My Beef With Meat or Plant Strong by Rip Esselstyn, you will find the recipe for Adonis Cake and Adonis Frosting in the book. They just doubled the recipe to turn it into a sheet cake, and then added toasted pecans.
I always add the vinegar last . Then you can stir it without loosing any of the action between baking soda and vinegar
Can't wait for my dr esselstyn cookbook to be delivered by early next week.
Texas sheet cake is so good. That extra runny batter makes it extra moist :D
Just purchased your cookbook! So excited!!
I love chocolate, Yummy, I can eat the Ohio sheet cake every day. Thank you for sharing
People can exchange lemon juice in place of vinegar and carob powder instead of cocoa. Lemon juice and carob are healthy.
Ann is ON it😂! Love her.
Yummy! Never made a sheet cake. What size is the sheet cake pan for this recipe?
You guys never disappoint! 😘
love you guys
Love you guys!!
This looks amazing!!!! I have to make this!!
Wait, how do you make the icing?
Wait a second, you can't steal a whole cake just bc you changed the recipe 🤣 The end result is a Texas sheet cake though the ingredients are healthy. There's that proud ownership you mentioned...but that describes Texans about pretty near everything Texan 😘 My grandma is basically the queen of Texas sheet cakes.

Yummmmmmm Calif sheet cake making at my home 🏠 can’t wait to try it and the tofu choc frosting ….. I don’t know what cook book that’s in though…
Looks so delicious! Going forward swirls will be called squirrels 😅 love it!!
...but will squirrels be called swirlies?? : )
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.
Looks amazing! Is the recipe in the linked book? Thanks
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.
I’m just getting up for work so I’m enjoying with a cup of coffee, but I’m wondering if the intent was to drop at 4pm EST so as to capture all US time zones. That said, many countries are up ( globally) and well into their day.
if i leave out the cocoa powder would this become vanilla sheet cake? i have a great chocolate frosting recipe to use made with sweet potato!!
Would love your frosting recipe!
Oh my, I didn’t know that about oats! I thought any sticky food would bung you up 😊. I’m having oats for breakfast tomorrow 👍🏻
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...
Looks amazing!🌱💖
