Personal Notes:
This was the cake that grandma was asked to make more than any other. I am pretty sure she got the recipe from the school. Berryhill used to serve a chocolate sheet cake in the cafeteria and I am certain it was this one. She used to make it at the daycare sometimes too. It's the cinnamon that makes it so good.
