This cake is good to make a day ahead, and is very popular at pot-lucks.
It’s been so long I’ve been looking for such a cake, not knowing a “white Texas sheet cake” existed. Wonderful the way it is, but I may “play” with different tastes and flavours, depending on the extract used (vanilla, orange, lemon, coconut, whatever). Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe.
This White Texas Almond Sheet Cake…whoa. It’s a whole pound of butter between the icing and the cake. Seriously – an entire pound of butter. It’s so moist and buttery that I haven’t found a single person who isn’t obsessed with it.
The base is a buttery, moist cake that is flavored with vanilla, almond…and um, more butter. Then the buttery (yes, seriously, more butter) icing is poured on the cake while it is still hot from the oven. The icing sinks into the cake a little and the top crackles a little when you cut into it. It’s pure sweet cake perfection.
This cake is the best dessert I have made in a long time. I am not proud to say that my family of four plowed through half of it in just one day! Make this right now — seriously, what are you waiting for? It only takes 30 minutes!
This cake only takes 30 MINUTES to make from start to finish, including frosting. I love any recipe that takes 30 minutes or less, but especially one that makes an a whole cake in that little time.

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract, optional

PREPARATION:
Preheat oven to 350º F and lightly grease a 13×18-inch cake pan with butter or non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and salt).
In a separate, large bowl, stir together sugar, water, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and vanilla and almond extracts until combined.
Gradually stir dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just incorporated, then pour mixture into greased cake pan.
Place pan in oven and bake for 18-21 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
While cake is baking, whisk together all frosting ingredients except for the sliced almonds until frosting is smooth and desired consistency is reached.
Remove cake from oven and let cool 5 minutes, then pour icing over the cake and cover with sliced almonds. Let set, then slice into squares and enjoy.
