White Texas Sheet Cake
Texas sheet cake includes cocoa and white Texas sheet cake (or “white sheet cake”) does not. The white Texas sheet cake recipe may have originated (or at least was popularized) in The Taste of Home magazine in the early 1990s.
12 October 1994, The Capital (Annapolis, MD), “Sweet Sheet Cake,” pg. C1, col. 1:
We received two copies of a recipe for White Texas Sheet Cake as requested by F.M. of Hanover. Both writers said the recipe came from a magazine called The Taste of Home, by Reunion Publications.
B.O. of Bowie, one of the writers, said she has tried the cake and “it’s delicious and very rich.”

I have used this many times. This recipe was in The Dispatch a couple of years ago and was taken from Taste of Home magazine by the person who submitted it. It is very good, easy to make and a hit at potluck dinners. A nice substitute for the chocolate version.
Cake:
1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup water
2 cups flour
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/4 cup milk
4 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts), optional
Cake: In a large saucepan, bring butter and water to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in flour, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, almond extract, salt and soda until smooth. Pour into a greased
15x10x1-inch baking pan.
Bake at 375 degrees for 20 to 22 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and tests done. Cool 20 minutes.
Frosting: Meanwhile, combine butter or margarine and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar and almond extract. Mix well. Stir in nuts and spread over warm cake.
Note: I have substituted vanilla for the almond extract also.

White Texas Sheet Cake
This is another recipe my mother used to make that was one of my favorites. It’s a VERY rich, old fashioned cake. Although it’s called a WHITE sheet cake, it is actually more yellow and looks like a lemon cake.
Cake:
1 cup butter
1 cup water
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 t almond extract
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
Frosting:
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 box powdered sugar
1/2 t almond extract
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large saucepan, bring butter and water to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream, almond extract, salt and baking soda until smooth. Pour into a greased 15x10 inch baking pan.(Do not use a 9 x 13 inch pan- it will be way too thick) Bake for 20-22 minutes or until cake is golden brown and tests done. Cool for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, for frosting, combine butter and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil; remove from heat; add sugar and extract and mix well. Stir in nuts; spread over warm cake.
