Y’all…it’s time to get busy baking Southern style! I’ve told you before, I don’t really say y’all when I talk. But I LOVE to type it. It’s just so cute…and Southern! And I do live in South Florida. Even though I don’t think Florida is considered a part of the South.
Anyway, we can finish that discussion another day. Let’s talk chocolate! Chocolate has been on my mind a lot lately. A lot more than normally. Did you see my last post where I did a LIGHT chocolate dessert with delicious Chobani Greek Yogurt?
I had so much fun coming up with my last recipe. I eat Chobani Greek Yogurt every day! Yes, every day! It is my little indulgence at the end of a long day. I drizzle it with honey and a little bit of granola. That is my secret to avoiding finishing off all the sweets I bake!
This is the Chobani mitt that all the yogurt challenge participants signed. I am about to send it back to Chobani. I wish I could keep it. 
. Phew! Then I won’t offend the kind people of the lovely state of Texas when they find out I added Chobani Greek Yogurt . I guess in Texas people say it’s “Aunt Velma’s Chocolate Cake”, or they just call it a Chocolate Cake. I thought a little bit of Chobani Honey Greek Yogurt would be the perfect addition. I am not going to lie and say that this is a light dessert like my last Chobani recipe was. This has lots of butter. Buckets of butter. This cake is moist. It is addictive. You will be happy you made it in a sheet pan because everyone will want a slice or two when they see you’ve made a Texas Sheet Cake. A Totally Rad Texas Sheet Cake!

I re-tweeted. Before I read that I could enter that way.
That cake looks so good. I’d better start eating the Chobani yogurt now so I won’t be pigging out on the chocolate dream.
Oh, my, I love how moist this cake looks…and the glaze looks scrumptious! Your sweet mamma found you an excellent cookbook! I’ll be back later for more entries in your fun contest
YUM YUM and YUM!!! Your cake looks so good, I wish I had the entire cake to myself and an insanely fast metabolism, haha. I seriously want to eat your cake right now. Mmmm.
I love Greek Yogurt!! The folks at Chobani are so good to us! Now where do I register for that cake, I would like to win that!
I am from Texas you know!

Easy…and chocolate.. my kind of dessert
and the rest of the south doesn’t consider South Florida the south either, The North claimed it years ago!
I guess Texas Sheet cake rules today, just read Lindsay blog and she posted the same cake
Yours look so good too. The frosting makes me drool.
Love the Chobani yogurt, just used some earlier today to make some muffins.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway Lola

You’re after my Texan heart with this one! We always called it “sheet cake” growing up, but it was always “Aunt So and So’s Sheet Cake.” Of course the name attached to the recipe changed depending on who it was being served to, but the recipe remained the same! =)
Using Chobani honey yogurt? Unorthodox, but genius! Will have to try that out!
I’ll admit I’m a bit slow to jump on the Greek yogurt bandwagon but the few times I’ve used it in recipes I’ve been pleased. I’m always up for trying something new.
I also follow your blog.
That’s a yummy cake – delicious, rich, soft and moist – the way a cake ought to be.
yum u made the best sweets

Love the Chobani version of Tx Sheet cake. What’s not to love? Tastes great, easy to make, and makes a huge cake!
#5 I tried to like Cake Duchess on Facebook, but the link didn’t work and it kept returning me to my FB homepage. But, I do live an hour away from Chobani’s headquarters. We love the yogurt, but haven’t found the children’s variety here yet.
#6: OK. Now I just saw the Facebook logo on the top of the page, so I liked you that way.
#7–Added the Rss feed to my Google Reader account.
#8, and, finally I follow the blog. WHEW. That’s a lot of work for 8 entries. I think I need to eat some Chobani to regain my energy!

Looks like everyone is eager to win! Lovely cake Duchess:D
This is seriously my favorite cake. My husband and I can eat a whole cake within like 2 days. We don’t even get out plates – just set the pan between us on the couch and watch football. Great job, really love the yogurt addition!
I think this Totally Rad Texas Sheet Cake is a better prize than the yoghurt… I’m not eligible for the giveaway anyway, so I feel it’s ok to say that! Btw, do you ship cakes internationally, Lora?

Chobani plain yogurt was my saving grace and favourite snack when I had gestational diabetes! I already follow them on twitter.

A chocolate sheet cake with a quick caramel frosting was one of my first recipes on my blog and is one of my top 10. I had to laugh when I had some of my neighbors over and shared the “sheet cake” they looked at me like I was crazy and said, “It’s just a chocolate cake.” Haha!

..and then I’mm probably mix some into my pancake batter for breakfast tomrrow 
Chobani, I love you!
im kind of obsessed with chobani so this recipie is a must try. my favorite yogurt is the pomegranate with dried fruit granola on top. heavvennnn and i MUST have it every day for lunch
This cake looks so moist Lora, what a bonus that it is so easy to make. I love having a few of these recipes tucked aside especially wonderful if you are getting last minute guests. I’ve never tried Chobani, I haven’t seen it on our grocery shelves here in Canada but I bet it adds a delicious flavour to the cake.
I shared on my Facebook page – http://www.facebook.com/pages/Full-Circle-living-loving-baking/145685378788305
Oh my, Lora! I am not a big chocolate fan and still I’m drooling over this cake. Plus, yogurt in cake is always great!

This recipe sounds delicious! I only am a fan of chocolate every now and then, but i think i could eat this anytime. Even better, i could pair a small piece with some plain or honey yogurt. YUM!

Hey Lora, this does sound “rad!” I’m following on twitter!
This cake does look amazing. If I liked chocolate, I’d just plow my face into that incredibly decadent looking frosting.
So you know, people who are southerners type it ya’ll, not y’all. Weird, I know, and it took some getting used to, but that’s how they do it. And no, they definitely don’t consider Florida part of the south because so many down there aren’t from the south anymore.
I just read Lindsey’s Texas sheet cake post and now yours so my mouth is watering and I definitely need to try this recipe!
I’m a fan of yours on Facebook too!

I love Chobani yogurt. I wish the stores around here carried the lemon flavor, since that’s just about the best flavor of yogurt EVER.

I’ve never tried Chobani yogurt before, but love, love love Texas sheet cake
This cake looks amazing! I have seen Texas Sheet Cake but never tried it. Thanks for sharing this very decadent looking recipe. Love that you added the Chobani.
I love Chobani yogurt and eat it almost every day. That is my little treat too. They have flavors available here like vanilla and honey (my favorite), but of course, I also love the plain and add it to many of my dishes:)
I am a follower. Hard to believe but I am not on Facebook or Twitter. I am a little behind with technology and am working on it:)
I always wanted to make a sheet cake like this – it looks incredibly fudgy and delicious! I wish I was your lucky neighbor! I love Chobani with honey and cinnamon in it – I do the same thing eat it at night like dessert – it’s THAT good.
Well I don’t need any yogurt, but I want you to know that I love what you did with your batch! It is so special that some of my favorite girls all got to share that oven mitt. It brings such a smile to my face. I hope you are feeling better, Lora! I’ve been praying for your recovery.
Looks so good…..the chocolate glaze…it calls to me.
Mmmmmm what beats a chocolate sheet cake with glistening chocolate frosting? Not much! And I love cakes with yogurt or sour cream. I must try this recipe! I know that the men will love it too!
I am a devoted follower of yours on Twitter and I am super excited to see what you are up to on your Friday post!
I am now a follower of Chobani on Twitter. Maybe I’ll get some baking inspirations from time to time…
I retweeted! That’s not asking much since I really am enjoying Twitter lately!
I am now following you on Facebook and while I am commenting I will say that I love using Greek yogurt to substitute part of the butters or oils in some of my baking. I use it as a mayo substitute for potato salads and dressings and we all love the flavor! My mom started making his salad dressing with yogurt instead of buying the dressing at the store. She even washes the storebought bottles of dressing and everything. Either he can’t tell the difference or he is just not saying anything.
We are huge Chobani fans.
Oh man, this cake is a beauty!
Haha. I just did all nine entries before reading the date.
But these look like what my mom used to call “Texas Brownies”! They were more of a cake than a brownie. I always thought it was just frosted brownies but this picture looks identical! I’m so glad I found a recipe for them!!
In my part of Texas, we just call this gorgeous cake “that beautiful, chocolate-candy frosting, chocolate pecan sheet cake”!! Kidding! The recipe I have is for Chocolate Sheath Cake, but everyone I know calls it Sheet cake. Down here in South Coastal Texas we absolutely love this rich, almost candy like cake; it’s almost always requested at big family gatherings! My recipe does not have yogurt or sour cream but add a touch of cinnamon and lots of pecans to the frosting!!! Will have to try your version, since my husband sometimes refuses to eat pecans.
