I've only heard 'sheet cake' as a reference to what type of cake it is - sheet cake, as opposed to layer cake or bundt cake, etc. I HAVE heard of Texas Sheet Cake, which is a recipe (my family calls it California Cake), but I don't think there's any cinnamon in it. Do you have any other info?
Edited to add: I found one Texas Sheet Cake recipe that uses cinnamon - is this what you're looking for?

A sheet cake is so named because of its shape. The batter is poured onto a sheet pan, which is wider and more shallow than a regular cake pan. This allows the cake to cook faster and it looks bigger.

There are all kinds of chocolate cakes... by a Betty Crocker or other boxed chocolate cake and put it in a 9x11 baking pan. That's what makes it a sheet cake, versus a round cake, or a bundt cake.
A sheet cake is just baked in a long square pan the recipe is not differnt than any other recipe for chocolate cake I don't think.
I may be wrong. I don't know.....But I have been told several times to order a ';sheet'; cake for parties and such and when I got it that was the only difference.....
