Known for her decadent recipes, Ree Drummond, who stars in the Food Network show "The Pioneer Woman," misread a Texas sheet cake recipe and doubled the amount of butter suggested.

Texas sheet cake is a rich, chocolatey dessert with a thick layer of warm chocolate and pecan frosting. Drummond's version is even more decadent than the standard version.

Using a recipe from her husband's mother, Drummond accidentally read "1 c. butter" to mean 1 cup instead of 1 cube — or 1 stick — as her mother-in-law originally intended.

Instead of ruining this dessert, the extra stick of butter made her Texas sheet cake even more moist and delicious, and her husband admitted to liking it more than his mother's.

Butter helps freshly baked treats rise effectively and guarantees fluffier and lighter results, so Drummond decided to keep her classic sheet cake recipe with extra butter.
