By request, here is a recipe for a delicious almond flavored sheet cake I made this past week! Yes, it did come from Taste of Home Make-a-Meal (I promise to branch out more next week- pinky swear!). The recipe advises making this cake the day before, because it tastes better the longer it sits. I tested this theory and it's 100% true. Another time saving tip: I am going to include the frosting recipe for this cake, but didn't end up frosting the cake, because it was so good without the frosting- light and moist with a sweet almond flavor. Yum.
White Texas Sheet Cake
1 cup butter
1 cup water
2 cups all purpose 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
4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2t almond extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
In a large saucepan bring butter and water to a boil. Remove from the heat, stir in flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream, extract, salt and baking soda until smooth. Pour into a greased 15" x 10" x 1" baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool for twenty minutes.
Meanwhile for frosting combine butter and milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat, add sugar and extract. Mix well. Stir in walnuts, spread over warm cake.
