Ida Hyde's Texas Sheet Cake

I've never made a sheet cake before, and this recipe worked like a charm. I'm not a nut lover, but I put the pecans in the icing anyway because I'm on a diet and I knew I'd be scraping it off the counter myself if I didn't. Okay, okay, I scraped a tiny bit off -- Yummy!!
