A dessert that is quite Heavenly…
I love desserts and I love finding new recipes. Sometimes though when you pull a recipe out of a magazine they don’t always turn out like the picture or what you thought it would be like. So when I tried making the White Texas Sheet Cake from Paula Dean’s cooking magazine, I just figured it would be the usual cake! But oh NO…this is quite divine. It is moist. The taste is amazing and once you have your first bite…you will keep wanting more with a big glass of milk!!!
White Texas Sheet Cake:
2 cups of flour
2 cups of sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 cup butter
1 cup water
1/2 cup sour cream
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon almond extract
Butter Frosting
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour a 15 by 10 inch jellyroll pan.
In a large bowl, combine flour,sugar,salt,and baking powder; set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine butter and water; bring to a boil, stirring occaionally.
Add to flour mixture, stirring to combine. Stir in sour cream, eggs, and almond extract. Pour into prepared pan, and bake 22-25 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Spread warm cake with Butter Frosting. Sprinkle with chopped pecans. Cut into squares to serve.
Butter Frosting:

1/4 cup milk

For the past few days this butterfly has been coming out to sit on my purple zinnias. It is so pretty. I am happy I finally got a picture of it. God has got such an imagination.
Yesterday when we were getting ready for our garage sale this weekend. My 4 year old caught this lizard…he has found his new home on my kitchen counter… until I can convince my son that he needs to be let go off to go home with his mommy.

Yes, this cake is great. I’ve eaten way too much of it lately. Honey, you should really stop making more of this. It’s not helping my waistline.
