I love sheet cakes! This recipe is similar to a favorite of my mom's,
Granny Cake but in sheet cake form, plus this has frosting. Mom's has a glaze that soaks into the cake.
I did use brown sugar in the cooked frosting, to make it more like caramel.
So that's an option for you - use white sugar if you prefer.
And I normally reduce the amount of sugar, but if your family likes a very sweet cake, then feel free to use the full amount. I also used coconut oil!

I also invite you to stop by her blog and check out her luscious and gorgeous photos of some amazing dishes!
This cake is amazingly moist and flavorful. The frosting has coconut for added sweetness and texture. Pecans can be added to frosting or sprinkled over the top.
This delicious cake is truly tough to beat! P-P-Perfect! Enjoy!!
