This is a strawberry sheet cake recipe. The cake is very light and moist, and the sugar cookie crust provides a nice, crunchy contrast to the soft inside.
It is much more tender than other chocolate sheet cakes, which makes it easier to cut into large slices without breaking them.

Here is a trick that I learned from my mom. First of all, you need some parchment paper. When the cake comes out of the oven, turn off the oven and leave the cake pan inside.
Put a clean, dry tea towel over the top of the cake and gently lift. The parchment paper should hold it beautifully.
