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. 
Here is the White Texas Sheet Cake recipe…

So stinkin’ YUMMY!
I promise you won’t be disappointed if you try this.
ENJOY!

mmmm, sounds yummy! I'll need to try this soon.~Makalaniwww.MakazHome.com
I wanted to try this for a Christmas party we have coming up where we’ll be serving Chocolate Texas Sheet Cake. I couldn’t bare to make it straight vanilla (no almond) so at the last minute I added pomegranate juice to the frosting (almost a cup–made it very runny) then poured it on the hot cake. It soaked in and left the frosting on top perfect. Delicious!!!
Thanks!
why is it called white chocolate sheet cake? There is no chocolate in it, white or dark.
(But the cake is still excellent)
We always referred to it as white chocolate because it’s a white version of chocolate sheet cake.
