70 Reviews of White Texas Sheet Cake

From: mbn

On Apr 24, 2003

This is an incredible cake! I made a few changes after making this very popular cake 3 times in 2 weeks, and the changes made it even better. I added an extra half cup of flour, reduced the sugar by a half cup, and added a teaspoon of baking powder. These changes make the cake lighter without loosing any taste.

    Goodness this is rich and good! Without chocolate??? Never made a cake with quite the directions these had, but it turned out perfect. I'm the disposable pan queen and I made in a 13 x 9 and an 8 x 8 (to put in the freezer). The frozen version held up nicely and one meal we served it with some fresh berries on the side. Awesome! This is definitely a great change of pace from chocolate and bundt cakes. We'll be making again soon!

    I made this and served it at baby shower. It was so yummmmmmmmy. Rich and moist. The icing is very sweet. The almond flavoring is a subtle nice touch. All the ladies commented that it tasted delicious. Many wanted the recipe. Thanks for a great recipe.

    This cake buckled the knees of all the men in my house. It's about half gone between the three of them already. Awesome - deserves more than 5 stars.

    One of the moistest and best cakes I have ever made or tasted. I always make a Valentine's Day dessert for my husband. This one brought him to his knees. No kidding!! The almond flavoring is a key ingredient. Thanks for a delectable new treat.

    This cake is very easy to put together, all in one saucepan!! The texture is like velvet, and it is soooo moist and flavorful. I took the advice of others on the sweet icing, and reduced the powdered sugar by 1/2 cup, and it was perfect. This cake will be going a lot of places with me in the future!! Thanks for the fabulous recipe!!!

    I've made this many times and forgot to review it, but it deserves more than five stars like many other reviewers have said. We love the almond flavoring and this cake gets even better-tasting the next day so I always make it a day ahead of time if I'm taking it to a potluck.

    A rare 5 stars for this cake. This cake was so good, I had three pieces in one day. I changed the icing to use orange juice instead of milk and put grated rind of one orange instead of nuts. The almond and orange were ridiculously good together. I can think of a hundred variations to try, but the basic cake and icing were moist and flavorful. Perfect for people who prefer desert over savory. Thank you for a recipe I will be making again and again.

    I made this for a church dinner and it was enjoyed by many. I did use vanilla instead of almond per personal preference but there are lots of almond lovers out there. It was a tad sweet but a nice change from all the chocolate desserts out there.
