I made this for our church dinner and did a gluten free version by substituting 1 1/2 cups all purpose GF flour and 1/2 cup GF oatmeal flour. It was so yummilicious! A big hit which was no small feat with so many great cooks bringing their favorite desserts.

I was looking for a white chocolate Texas sheet cake but saw the image of this cake and had all the ingredients. I was amazed just how easy this recipe was to make. The cake turned out really moist, and I loved the hint of the almond flavor. The icing definitely needs to go on a warm cake, as mine was almost too cool. This cake is definitely something I will make often. I won’t tweek the cake recipe it was perfect but I might cut the powder sugar down a bit. Sitting her writing this I can’t help but to wonder how this would be with a raspberry extract, hum....

This is the most AMAZING cake! Have made at least a dozen times but never with given icing recipe. Changed a tad following other reviews: 2 1/2 cups flour, only 3/4 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups sugar, added 1 teaspoon baking powder. Have made with almond and vanilla, depending on what we were in the mood for. Makes the BEST cake bottom for coffe cake! Have also topped with whipped cream and traditional buttercream frosting. SO versatile, but I've gotten rave reviews everytime I make it! Thanks!
