I don't know why I would ever need another recipe for a chocolate cake when I grew up with this chocolate cake every year for my birthday. But many years ago, a co-worker brought this chocolate sheet cake to work, and I HAD to get the recipe. This would be more like something I would take to a pot luck rather than make for a birthday. It has cinnamon in it which gives it a wonderful unique flavor. Please just ignore the fact that there are 3 cubes of butter in this recipe and enjoy it!
