A birthday celebration yesterday. Since I was a teen I have been making the chocolate version of Texas Sheet Cake. I've had the vanilla/white version in my files to try for a while now. This cake is traditionally made in a jelly roll pan, making the ratio of icing and cake about even. I don't care for it that way and most always make it in a 9 x 13 pan. This is a very moist cake and gets better each day.
WHITE TEXAS SHEET CAKE
Boil the butter and milk. Remove from heat and pour over powdered sugar. Add vanilla. Mix with mixer until smooth. Spread over cake. Can add pecans or coconut if desired for a different twist.
