Just grab a fork and get to it.
1. A German Sweet Chocolate Sheet Cake you can share along with one of your favorite fun facts: this cake isn't named after the country, but after the person who developed the chocolate!
2. A from-scratch Funfetti Sheet Cake to celebrate momentous occasions, or even just a random Tuesday. Sprinkles make everything better.
3. A Blueberry and Nectarine Upside Down Sheet Cake to take advantage of the best fruits of the season. Ok...to see the pretty fruit on top you *have* to take this one out of the pan, but it's worth it.
4. A Chocolate Mousse Sheet Cake for a double whammy of desserts. And I'm sorry, but you're legally required to shave chocolate on top.
5. A Red Velvet Sheet Cake paired with a perfectly tangy cream cheese frosting. You'll turn as bright as this cake when everyone compliments you on the excellence of your baking.
6. A Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll Sheet Cake recipe I'm printing out and carrying with me at all times to prove once and for all that yes! Cake is a breakfast food.
7. A Fresh Strawberry Sheet Cake with a sweet secret trick baked right in: strawberry puree in both the cake batter *and* the cream cheese–based frosting.
8. A Peanut Butter Sheet Cake you'll never be mad at when it gets stuck to the roof of your mouth. Going at this with a spoon = even better than going at a PB jar with a spoon.
9. A Matcha Fudge Sheet Cake for a stunning presentation to feed a crowd, without a whole lot of extra work. Just pipe the matcha buttercream on in little swirls — even if they get a little messy, it'll still look great!
10. A Butterscotch Sheet Cake with Salted Caramel Buttercream to satisfy every craving you've ever had. Keep a little pitcher of the salted caramel sauce for extra drizzles over every slice, no one's stopping you!
The not-too-sweet Swiss meringue buttercream is the perfect base for the rich salted caramel sauce.

11. A Yellow Sheet Cake with Fudge Frosting that'll have you calling up everyone you've ever met to see if they have a birthday coming up. *Anything* to have an excuse to make this classic cake .
The trick to this super-moist yellow cake is the sour cream!

12. A Tres Leches Sheet Cake, because thanks to the namesake ~three milks~ this bb gets soaked with, it's basically FOOLPROOF. Overbaked? Still going to be incredibly moist.
The key is to poke holes, then drizzle with the three-milk mixture (coconut, condensed, and evaporated). It'll all get soaked up for the moistest cake you've ever had.

13. A Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Buttermilk Frosting you *don't* have to wait until fall to make. Even in a July heatwave, you'll hear the crunch of autumn leaves with every bite.
Brb, I'm starting a petition to get pumpkin pie replaced with this cake as the traditional Thanksgiving dessert!

14. A Texas Turtle Sheet Cake that's just as over-the-top as you are — in the best way possible. Traditional Texas cake is great, but adding caramel and your favorite nuts? That's even better.
The recipe mentions this cake is even *better* the next day, so you better save yourself an extra piece before your friends & family gobble it up.

15. A Hummingbird Sheet Cake that'll make you go "hmmmmmmmm" in delight after every bite. You won't even know you're doing it; it'll just happen. That's how tasty this is.

Get the recipe at Le Creme De La Crumb.
21. A Butter Rum Sheet Cake that'll (lit'rally) ooze perfection, thanks to the namesake sauce drizzled on top in lieu of icing.
The cake is rich, so it's sized down for a smaller sheet cake (in an 8x8 pan).
Get the recipe at House of Yumm.
22. Texas Marshmallow Sheet Cake with a chocolate-and-mini-marshmallow icing you just poooouuuuuur on top. In the words of Ina herself, "How easy is that?!"
