This is the first time I've seen Genevieve Ko and I just want to say that she is so relatable, she is me lol. I do the same with the butter wrapper and I try to minimize the number of dishes and utensils. As long as there's no likelihood of cross contamination, I will reuse anything and everything!
Oh goodness, I love y'all!! I've seen so many videos of people making 'Texas Sheet Cake' that's nothing like it. Y'all are even pouring the frosting on hot! Oh, that fudgy layer between the crusty top and the cake is sublime. Our family still makes this. It's a cherished tradition.
My mom had made one of these when I came home from getting my wisdom teeth pulled. It was always my favorite cake and my family was like "ooh, sorry" and I was like "BLEND IT INTO A MILKSHAKE" problem solved!
I grew up always having these and a pound cake whenever we visited my grandparents in southern Alabama. We called it "Texas cake" and I recently learned that not everyone knows about it. I mentioned craving a slice of Texas cake and my fiancé (who is an excellent and experienced baker/home cook) had never heard of it! Anyways, loved this video - thanks for the nostalgia!
Texas sheet cake has two crucial elements that differentiate it from chocolate cake: 1 You ice it when the cake is still hot, so the icing crystalizes on top of the cake, which is a no-no for ordinary cakes. 2 Pecans, which are as Texan as you can get. I also grew up with this cake at parties. It's just easy to make and delicious, and kids love it.
My family moved to Texas when I was a kid, and this cake became one of the favorites at church fellowships for me and my siblings. We didn't know it's name until we were in our teens or twenties. It's still a fave for us.👌🏾
My grandma made Texas sheet cake for every family get together. She used walnuts instead of pecans and pours the icing on the walnuts. I need to get her recipe.
I only started baking Texas Sheet Cakes when I left Texas and moved to Portland. The recipe I used-Stella Parks-called for pouring boiling frosting (essentially fudge) over the cake just out of the oven. Scary as hell but delicious. Look forward to having an event again in life for which I can make this version.
You could probably switch out the cocoa powder and make a vanilla blondie-sequence version. (If it’s the cocoa you’re allergic to) Also top it with a caramel, maple, cream cheese or even peanut butter frosting.
if you're into, interested in and/or know any foragers and linden trees grow near you, you can also make a cocoa powder substitute from dry roasted and ground linden tree fruits! Alexis Nikole Nelson (BlackForager online) has a video about it :)
Dear Priya, I’ve been thinking about this topic for a very long time. I’m a 70 yo white American woman who cooks everything and fortune enough to live in areas with very diverse ethnic grocery stores. So the bottom line is I shop all the local ethnic GS…..large and very small. Over the years I just know what I can get what I want and my favorite shops. It’s a completed topic. Our main line GS are very white with segregated ethnic shopping isles. 😵💫
WOW this looks amazing. Wow wow wow. I’m making this. Can someone smarter than me explain why the batter needs to be folded? Generally I fold when I want to maintain aeration, which is not an issue here. Is there another reason?
the other main reason to be gentle when mixing in baking is to avoid developing gluten in the flour, since gluten can make the result less delicate and more chewy
As a southern lady, I'd like to add that I noticed the correct pronunciation of pa-cahn.....not pee-can! 😂 Also, we love this cake in my house!! Its simple, quick, and oh so chocolatey!!!
OMG. lovely awesome! Thanks for this recipe both of you🌹🌹. Please share Genevieve’s TH-cam or Instagram’s site if possible. So we can access the rest of recipes.
Then you don't have a sheet cake, & it's denser. Just use a medium to large cookie sheet and your good. If you don't have a cookie sheet, just buy disposables at the store. NOT dollar store types tho'. (FYI, you don't use dollar store types because they're too flimsy generally & doubling them messes up cook time/texture.)
I’d use oil. I usually use olive oil in my cakes anyway because I like the flavor and I like how it keeps the cake very moist for longer. You could also use (and bear with me, here) mayonnaise! It’s just eggs and oil which keeps the cake wonderfully moist at room temp. But I’d only use the Mayo in a chocolate cake, don’t try it in vanilla cake or else you might taste a little bit of Mayo. In a chocolate cake you can’t taste it at all.
NYT is so greedy that they won't give the recipes unless you pay for subscribing!😖Shame on you!!!! If you google their recipes some kind people post the same recipe FREE!
Ugh this is not real TX sheet cake if it doesn’t have the Dr. Pepper/cola in it 😭🥲 such a travesty to all of us Texans whose grannies have been making these cakes for generations lol 😂
Ohkay! So I did not get very good vibes from Genevieve here? Seemed like she was trying to bulldoze Priya and there was discomfort on Priya's face too, throughout. She seems a bit controlling. Guess we are all the same - insecure.
is it really that unlikely that she had a different experience growing up there compared to you? especially in a relatively large state like TX. also, just weird that you're jumping straight to saying she's lying about it tbh..
i mean, shouldn't this be Texas Sheet Cake with **Genevieve** and Priya? Priya barely did anything. In fact, I don't get the whole Priya fandom... whatever video she's in, she just seems to have not-much-to-offer. How is she a food editor and she doesn't even know how to fold in an ingredient into a cake batter? What is her actual culianry training and how did she rise to such prestigious ranks when there are soooooooo many other much more talented and lets be honest-- personable food peeps out there? i just don't get it.
So Priya used to eat sticks of butter and now she used to eat tubs of sour cream as well. She really is something else
Yes, texan
Never forget
i loved eating butter and whipped cream as a kid too lol
@@HoneyD109 i would eat whipped cream or cottage cheese, pretty much any dairy product
I didn’t eat tubs of those, but I loved large lumps of both as a kid. It’s just cultured dairy, similar to cheese and yogurt.
This is the first time I've seen Genevieve Ko and I just want to say that she is so relatable, she is me lol. I do the same with the butter wrapper and I try to minimize the number of dishes and utensils. As long as there's no likelihood of cross contamination, I will reuse anything and everything!
My great-aunt’s Texas sheet cake had cinnamon in the batter and Dr. Pepper in the frosting. So good and such a quintessential part of my childhood.
Do you know how much Dr. Pepper in the version you mentioned?
Cooking together just makes everything better. I'm so happy to see Genevieve and Priya on camera again!
Priya and Genevieve are an absolute joy to watch together
meh.
I do that butter-paper trick, too! Love the folding technique. These two are perfect together!
Oh goodness, I love y'all!! I've seen so many videos of people making 'Texas Sheet Cake' that's nothing like it. Y'all are even pouring the frosting on hot! Oh, that fudgy layer between the crusty top and the cake is sublime. Our family still makes this. It's a cherished tradition.
if you listen to recipe club you know how much priya is obsessed with the 'crisp-gone-soggy' texture
My mom had made one of these when I came home from getting my wisdom teeth pulled. It was always my favorite cake and my family was like "ooh, sorry" and I was like "BLEND IT INTO A MILKSHAKE" problem solved!
More of this please! It’s so refreshing.

A friend of mine is coming to visit from Texas tomorrow, and she is bringing me a small TX sheet cake from Central Market. I.CANNOT.WAIT!!!

my great aunt used to do that trick with the butter paper and then she would wash and save them and use them as tin liners too! :D

Yum. Pls do share your grandma’s recipe
Cosmic Brownies - what a throwback! Rather have this Texas Sheet Cake!

When I was growing up, we used to make this for Christmas and call it "Jesus' Birthday Cake" which I still find hilarious!
Why is it hilarious?
@@nancyholt5429 JESUS!!!
That screams TEXAS to me 😂
@@nancyholt5429 cause Jesus BDay cake is obviously bread soaked in wine, sprinkled with some shame… duhhh
I would like to eat this today, tomorrow, and for the rest of my life.
I want to make this just because y’all are so darling and you make this process so appealing.
I am from Arlington, Texas and I approve of this recipe! Pecans on top works for me!
Ah, this video has such good vibes.
So if Sohla and Ham are the perfect couple, are Priya and Genevieve the epitome of supportive friends?
oh wow I love these hosts! And I’m definitely going to try this cake!
Me: I don't like to make cakes
Also me after watching any NYT cake video: I should make this cake
Amazing cake, I can't wait to try to bake it
Yea Priya..... love it nice seeing her in my feed.
If there's a more satisfying word than 'fudgify' - I'm yet to hear it.
Y’all nailed this.
this looks sooooo good and so doable
That looks so good I watched the video three times.
No wonder I loved priya!! The butter kids unite!
Sooooo cool!! I will definitely try it too! ❤️🍀
I never heard of this before and am allergic to chocolate but I saw these two amazing bakers and knew I had to watch it
You could probably switch out the cocoa powder and make a vanilla blondie-sequence version. (If it’s the cocoa you’re allergic to) Also top it with a caramel, maple, cream cheese or even peanut butter frosting.

Shout out to the soggy pie bottom fans! Also, just slightly underbaked cinnamon buns, yum!
Everyone in my family requests this for birthdays!
Please do more desserts with Genevieve!
These two are so great together! Also, I love Priya's shirt!
Priya where is your shirt from? I love it!
My husband's family just calls it Chocolate Sheet Cake. It's what his brother used to request for his birthday every year.
I'm with ya Priya. Spoonfuls of sour cream right out of the tub!! :)
Where is Priya’s shirt from????
Firm believer cinnamon goes in a Texas sheet cake!
Did I miss your adding vanilla? You used coffee to intensify the chocolate, which does an even more effective job
This is great.
Anyone reading NYTimes should read Gray Lady Winked by Ashley Rindsberg. highly recommended.
Even better with a scoop of Blue Bell ice cream!
I need Priya to have her own show already.
no she doesn't. she's unimaginative and not even helpful.

I need more Priya and Genevieve~!
thanksgiving is gonna be so great this year 🥲
I need the recipe, please 😔🥺🥰

Howdy. Does anyone have the exact ingredients measurements? Visiting the website requires one to pay for a subscription.
BTW, using a webpage archival tool online might just be what you need
OMG you guys recruited Priya AND Claire! I love it
Enjoyed the time watching this video 👍
Any Priya content is good content
OMG. lovely awesome! Thanks for this recipe both of you🌹🌹. Please share Genevieve’s TH-cam or Instagram’s site if possible. So we can access the rest of recipes.
Gonna go ahead and be *that* person and say that Frito Pie is actually a New Mexico thing -- Invented at a Woolworth's in Santa Fe.
next you'll tell us Hatch chilis aren't from Austin!
Wondering how I lived 9 years of my life in Texas but never had a cake like this? :( I am back in Georgia now.
texas sheet cake reminds me of little Debbie brownies!
I like cake
Can I use a 9x13?
Then you don't have a sheet cake, & it's denser. Just use a medium to large cookie sheet and your good.

I love crunchy nuts gone soft! ... it's like they are plump and burst in your mouth with a sweet nutty flavor ... mmm.
Where is the recipe? Please? Love videos but need quantities or recipe! 🙏🏻
Link is in the description :)
A pretty close recipe that isn’t being a paywall is the Pioneer Woman’s
(can also use a webpage archival tool online to get past the PW)
PRIYA!!!
What about the recipe ???? Could you share it? Another question, instead of butter, what can I use here?
I’d use oil. I usually use olive oil in my cakes anyway because I like the flavor and I like how it keeps the cake very moist for longer. You could also use (and bear with me, here) mayonnaise! It’s just eggs and oil which keeps the cake wonderfully moist at room temp. But I’d only use the Mayo in a chocolate cake, don’t try it in vanilla cake or else you might taste a little bit of Mayo. In a chocolate cake you can’t taste it at all.
@@discogothooh. do you find you need less salt when you substitute mayo in?
Next? How about Texas Wacky Cake?
WE LAV PRIYUHHHHHHH
Love. No notes
Hope "helping" doesn't mean "slavery"
holy shit, yummy.
Just took a screenshot of the recipe so no need to subscribe to the website

I think too many dishes for texas sheet cake. Most recipes I’ve seen, uses one pot and a baking pan.
Cake seems cool but these 2 are no Ali Sagle or Erc Kim or Yewande ...
Recipe please?

Priya needs to represent: wife beater, a beer (or beer belly) and a rifle...Then she's from Texas.
I get this is probably a joke, but I would like to point out that Texas is actually pretty diverse.
@@platystrophia oh no never, i see on the tv and thats it. I watch food network also.. don't try to trick me about texas.
From old guy, asian ,🙏🇺🇸🇮🇳,, good looking , asian good looking asian , asian 🙏,we are probably asian 🙏🇺🇸🇮🇳🇮🇳
🤣🤣🤣 old guy you made me laugh
Nice recipe. Will define try. So annoying hearing how they pronounce PECAN …….. it’s PEA CAN 🤣
Ohkay! So I did not get very good vibes from Genevieve here? Seemed like she was trying to bulldoze Priya and there was discomfort on Priya's face too, throughout. She seems a bit controlling. Guess we are all the same - insecure.
What's with the stripper music??
Why is Priya lying about eating Texas sheet cakes at potlucks? Lol They arent even that popular here.
is it really that unlikely that she had a different experience growing up there compared to you? especially in a relatively large state like TX. also, just weird that you're jumping straight to saying she's lying about it tbh..
