White Texas Sheet Cake Recipe

Today I wanted to share with you my CURRENT favorite dessert – White Texas Sheet Cake!

I’m a huge fan of ALMOND EXTRACT, (I put it in most of my desserts even if it doesn’t call for it) and this dessert has it in the cake AND the frosting!

I also tend to like WHITE versions of desserts (vanilla more so than chocolate, that is)….

Blondies vs. Brownies
White Sheetcake vs. Regular Sheetcake
White Chocolate Molten Lava Cake vs. Milk Chocolate Molten Lava Cake
(this is a dessert at Chili’s – if you have not had it, you HAVE to have it!)

Oh yeah, and this dessert has lots of BUTTER, and being a Paula Deen fan, we all know that EVERYTHING tastes better with BUTTER!

Bottom line – I just love this dessert, and I hope you do too.
