White Texas Sheet Cake Recipe

White Texas Sheet Cake

From chefmeow 18 years ago

This is an incredible cake. It is moist, goes a long way and is always a hit when I take it to church or office potlucks. Enjoy

In a large saucepan bring and water to a boil.
Remove from heat and stir in flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream, 1 teaspoon almond extract and baking soda until smooth.
Pour batter into a greased jelly roll pan.
Bake at 375 for 20 minutes.
Cool for 20 minutes.
Combine 1/2 cup butter and milk in a saucepan then bring to a boil.
Remove from heat.
Mix in sugar and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
Stir in pecans and spread frosting over warm cake.

This is so fabulous, the flavor reminds me of an almond bear claw.

This cake turned out great. I used 1 1/2 the recipe as I needed to fill a car cake pan and I used a little more almond extract for a little more flavor, thanks for the recipe.

I think that you are missing one step in your recipe. I boiled the butter with the water...but in your directions it doesn't mention what to do with the butter for the cake. :) Thanks!!!!

I have now made this cake a couple of times and it is sooo GOOD, will be making it forever. My husband dosen't care for frosting and this cake is just yummy without any, super moist and just sweet enough. The only thing I did different was bake it in a regular cake pan instead of a jelly role pan.
