White Texas Sheet Cake

White Texas Sheet Cake is the perfect way to feed a crowd and make all the almond lovers in your family happy. This delicious almond sheet cake is Texas size, just like its chocolate cousin.

Today’s recipe for Almond Sheet Cake was given to me years ago by my dear friend Cathy.  It quickly became a family favorite and is my first choice when I need to fix a dessert to feed a crowd. Everyone loves it and comments on how good it is. They are always pleasantly surprised when they realize it is an almond sheet cake.

Almond Sheet Cake

It is so simple and easy to make and it is a great alternative to the traditional chocolate Texas Sheet Cake and of course I love the almond flavor!  It is made in a large jelly roll pan, so it makes a lot.  There are actually no nuts in the cake, I just added some sliced almonds for garnish to pretty it up.
