This White Texas Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is as easy as it gets! I love making sheet cakes because you don't have to worry about the cake coming out of the pans, stacking the layers, frosting in between each layer, and then frosting the entire cake. To make this easy Vanilla Texas Sheet Cake recipe, you just have to slather on some homemade frosting and you are good to go!

Another reason that White Texas Sheet Cake is extra easy, is that the cake batter is made in a saucepan. So you don't even have to pull out your stand or hand mixer. That's winning right there!

My daughter's birthday lands in July, which is the hottest time of year in Arizona. As much as I love to bake, I don't do it as much in July and try to spend a little less time in the kitchen. So this year I decided to go an easier route with her birthday cake, and I made this Homemade White Texas Sheet Cake and topped it with all of her favorite fruits. It turned out so beautiful and tasted amazing!

How do you make a Vanilla Almond White Texas Sheet Cake?

It's a little unique and uses different methods than a traditional cake. Butter and water are melted down in a saucepan and then sugar is added until it is nice and dissolved. Eggs, sour cream, and vanilla are added to give it flavor and moistness. Flour, baking soda, and salt round it out. It is poured into a large cookie sheet and baked until lightly golden brown.

A buttery almond cream cheese frosting is spread all over the vanilla sheet cake. Then you can top it with your favorite fruits or keep it super simple.

I hope you love this Vanilla Sheet Cake Recipe! I love to top this cake with fresh raspberries, strawberries, and even fresh cherries for a little decoration.

You can also serve this plain and simple. I love to spread the buttery cream cheese frosting with an angled spatula. It has the perfect ratio of cake and frosting and is oh so decadent.
