Here&#8217;s an overview of a few key ingredients you will need for this cake:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cocoa powder:&nbsp;<\/strong>Since this cake recipe uses baking soda, make sure to unsweetened natural cocoa powder. It&#8217;s more acidic and exactly what the baking soda needs in order for this cake to rise properly.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buttermilk:&nbsp;<\/strong>I made this Texas sheet cake with buttermilk to ensure it remains moist. If you don&#8217;t keep buttermilk on hand, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-make-buttermilk\/\">make a substitute<\/a> in about 5 minutes.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sour cream:&nbsp;<\/strong>Along with the buttermilk, the sour cream helps to keep this cake incredibly moist. If you don&#8217;t have any on hand, you can replace it with an equal amount of plain Greek yogurt.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pecans:&nbsp;<\/strong>These are completely optional and I prefer to leave them off of this cake. However, if you love pecans you can add up to 1 cup of chopped pecans.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px;
