Texas Almond Sheet Cake Almond Sheet Cake is the perfect way to feed a crowd and make all the almond lovers in your family happy. Today’s recipe for Almond Sheet Cake was given to me years ago by a dear friend from my direct sales team – Cathy. It quickly became a family favorite and is my first choice when I need to fix a dessert to feed a crowd. I’ve served it at many parties and everytime I serve it, everyone loves it and comments on how good it is. I think people are expecting it to be a vanilla flavored cake and are always so pleasently surprised when they realize it is almond. We had friends over for dinner this last week and I served it and they very politely asked if they could take some home, you know it’s good when that happens! It’s an easy one to share too because it makes so much. 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. The batter for the cake is very runny, so don’t let that worry you. It’s suppose to be that way. While the cake is cooling, make your frosting and then frost the cake after it has cooled for 30 minutes. If you aren’t an almond fan you could always make the cake and frosting with vanilla extract and it would be wonderful too. I hold parties, just so I can make this cake! Any excuse. I actually prefer it over the chocolate version, sorry chocolate lovers.

Almond Sheet Cake is the perfect way to feed a crowd and make all the almond lovers in your family happy.

Today’s recipe for Almond Sheet Cake was given to me years ago by a dear friend from my direct sales team – Cathy.  It quickly became a family favorite and is my first choice when I need to fix a dessert to feed a crowd.  I’ve served it at many parties and everytime I serve it, everyone loves it and comments on how good it is.   I think people are expecting it to be a vanilla flavored cake and are always so pleasently surprised when they realize it is almond.

We had friends over for dinner this last week and I served it and they very politely asked if they could take some home, you know it’s good when that happens!  It’s an easy one to share too because it makes so much.

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.

The batter for the cake is very runny, so don’t let that worry you.  It’s suppose to be that way.  While the cake is cooling, make your frosting and then frost the cake after it has cooled for 30 minutes.  If you aren’t an almond fan you could always make the cake and frosting with vanilla extract and it would be wonderful too.

I hold parties, just so I can make this cake! Any excuse.  I actually prefer it over the chocolate version, sorry chocolate lovers.
