About This Recipe

• This sheet cake does not follow the typical cake recipe instructions because the ingredients are mixed and cooked, then go into the oven.
• The ingredients are essential and the same as what we usually use in other cakes.
• Dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and sugar.
• This recipe uses water, yes, water and no milk or anything like that. We basically add the dry ingredients to this boiling mixture and mix well.
• We also need eggs and sour cream. Eggs create structure, and sour cream brings a soft, tangy flavour.

• One important component is the flavour which can be plain vanilla, almond, or coconut. These flavours come in the form of extract, and we only need a few drops.
• Let's talk about the icing. Icing contains milk, powdered sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and walnuts. Pecans will be fine.
• Pour the icing over the cake while it is still warm, which makes it extra moist and tender.

How To Make White Texas Sheet Cake

• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar, and set aside.
• Put the butter in a saucepan, add the water, and bring it to a boil. The mixture will be soft yellow and creamy.

• Let the cake cool down in the pan, then turn it onto a cooling rack.
• Make the icing by melting the butter, adding the milk.
