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!
And the creamy, sweet coconut–pecan frosting is much easier to spread on a sheet than a layer cake.

2. A from-scratch Funfetti Sheet Cake to celebrate momentous occasions, or even just a random Tuesday. Sprinkles make everything better.

The butter meringue frosting isn't as sweet as some typical vanilla ones — just creamy and delicious.

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.
And on a classic yellow cake base, this bb is simply sweet. Make up some fresh whipped cream to serve along side, because why not?!

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.
Heavy whipping cream *and* mini marshmallows come together for this fluffier-than-fluffy mousse frosting.

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.
The frosting calls for instant vanilla pudding mix for extra silkiness.

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.

Brb, I'm starting a petition to get pumpkin pie replaced with this cake as the traditional Thanksgiving dessert!
Get the recipe at A Spicy Perspective.
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.

21. A Butter Rum Sheet Cake that'll (lit'rally) ooze perfection, thanks to the namesake sauce drizzled on top in lieu of icing.
