Can I Use Regular Milk Instead of Buttermilk?

Yes, this actually can work, although it does slightly alter the flavor and texture of the cakes. If you are sure you want to try the recipe with regular milk instead of buttermilk, I suggest you use whole milk. Buttermilk tenderizes the cakes and adds flavor, so a low fat milk (such as skim or 2%) is not the best option for replacing the buttermilk in this recipe.

Make your own buttermilk by adding 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk. Give it a gentle stir, then set it aside for 5 minutes. Use this homemade buttermilk in your Texas Sheet Cake Bites.

How to Store Leftover Texas Sheet Cake Bites

Keep the leftover cake bites in an airtight container either at room temperature or in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to three days.

How to Make Texas Sheet Cake Bites:

Preheat your oven to 325ºF and prepare a mini muffin pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or with mini paper liners.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set this aside. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, water, and cocoa powder and heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a boil. Be sure to stir often to prevent burning.
