A delicious twist on the classic Texas Sheet Cake, this White Texas Sheet Cake is soft, moist, and topped with a rich, creamy frosting. It’s a perfect dessert for any occasion, offering a light and fluffy texture with a subtle almond flavor.

Ingredients

  1. For the cake:
  2. 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  3. 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  4. 1 tsp baking powder
  5. 1/2 tsp salt
  6. 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  7. 1 cup water
  8. 1/2 cup sour cream
  9. 3 large eggs
  10. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  11. 1 tsp almond extract
  12. 1/2 tsp baking soda
  13. For the frosting:
  14. 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  15. 1/4 cup milk
  16. 2 cups powdered sugar
  17. 1 tsp vanilla extract
  18. 1/2 tsp almond extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the water and bring to a boil. Pour into the dry ingredients and stir well.
  3. Add sour cream, eggs, vanilla extract, almond extract, and baking soda. Mix until smooth.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. For the frosting, melt butter and milk together over medium heat. Stir in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and almond extract, mixing until smooth.
  6. Once the cake is baked, cool for 10 minutes and then pour the frosting over the warm cake, spreading evenly.
  7. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  1. For a citrus twist, add lemon or orange zest to the batter.
  2. For a tropical flavor, substitute coconut extract for almond extract.
  3. For added texture, mix chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts into the frosting or cake.
