This Famous Cake Is a Texas Tradition Texas sheet cake—also called sheath cake, Texas funeral cake, or Texas brownie cake—is a chocolaty, unpretentious Lone Star state tradition. Ask any Texan, and they'll likely have a story to tell about the first time they had it. Chances are they'll claim they have a family secret for making "the best," too. The simple dessert features a signature Texas ingredient, pecans, mixed into a chocolate icing over a light, chocolate cake. The most perfect ratio of fudgy to fluffy.
