    Hi from a little farm, big family, in Remsen, Iowa! My girls and I just love to watch you cook! Thank you for teaching so well and taking the time to share your wisdom. We are thankful and blessed to have your videos!

    I got married in 1990, and my husband’s Great Aunt Etter gifted me a wonderful Sunbeam Mixmaster at my bridal shower, which I still cherish and use to this day! She was able to afford it with her employee discount from working at the Sunbeam Appliance factory in Coushatta, Louisiana. I wouldn’t trade it for anything, not even a fancy KitchenAid.

      I bought my Mom a Sunbeam, I think it was teal. She had worn out her first electric mixer, but I have her first mixer, it looks like a chicken wire paddle. She used that for many years even making 7 minute icing. A few years ago my cousin’s mixer died. I bought her a red Kitchen aid, she was speechless! And she loved it. After she passed away her daughter starting using it. I bake too, but I’ve never had a stand mixer, I just use a hand held. Oh, also my son and I went in half’s and bought his wife, my precious daughter in law
      a 7 qt kitchen aid because she was selling her decorated cakes and we wanted to help her out. There was a problem though, it wouldn’t fit under her upper cabinets! 😂 I was craving chocolate cake today, was thinking about making the Texas Sheet cake. But I
      didn’t. 😂😂😂

    "Leftover frosting?" Is there such a thing? LOL. When I was 13 or so and starting baking (I'm 63 now) every time I made chocolate cake with chocolate frosting (using the recipe on the Hershey's Cocoa container) my Dad came up next to me and asked "Are you sure you have enough frosting, Cheryl?" or "Be sure there's plenty of frosting, Cheryl." I can't wait to make this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!

    Probably should've just made it like a sheet cake because the 3 layers are leaning. LOL
    I don't care what it looks like I think it's going to be delicious!
    Update: This is the softest, moist, flavorful cake I have ever made!

    • @kettlebelle290

      Many modern ovens can't take oven liners. The hidden bake elements can make the oven bottoms hot enough to fuse the liner to the enamel.

    Those old Sunbeams can't be beat. Had mom's for years until it burned up. I don't care for the new ones, it makes sense that the bowl turns, since the beaters sit offset from the middle of the bowl which makes scraping down easy as you have more room and don't have to shut it off. Sure wish I still had that old Sunbeam. Coffee chocolate cake, YUM!!!!

    Thank you for this recipe! By the way, I keep a liner in the bottom of my oven to make cleaning from overflow so easy.

    Do you need to put the coffee. I don’t drink coffee nor do I have any in the house.

    The cake looks delicious.. however😊, I have to disagree with you on the coffee. I've been prof baking for 50 years. Trust me, the coffee flavor does come through. Now, I'm an avid coffee drinker, but I can taste the coffee and everyone who eats it can too. Iowned the hard way with a very unhappy customer... my daughter lol. I sell mine as mocha chocolate cake. For those that say it only enhances the chocolate and can't taste the coffee, you're gonna have some very unhappy tasters. 😢
