Last weekend's birthday gathering had cake, but not what one might normally think of as "birthday cake." Instead, we went with a Texas sheet cake, deeply chocolatey and fudgy, with its amazing pecan-studded frosting glaze, which is really what brings it all together. This has been a long-time favorite from growing up in Buies Creek, a regular treat my mother would make and that really became the take-back-to-college staple. But I have neglected it over the last several years: it's only appeared not quite once a year for almost a decade now. That's a shame.
