Blonde Texas Sheet Cake with Pecans

Blonde Texas Sheet Cake with Pecans is a play off the popular chocolate version of Texas Sheet Cake. Deliciously moist and fluffy almond cake baked in a rectangle sheet pan then topped with scrumptiously creamy vanilla frosting!

This cake is flavored with almond extract, but it’s such a great basic cake that you can flavor it with your favorite. Vanilla flavor would be love, as would lemon or coconut.

Blonde Texas Sheet Cake with Pecans is a favorite at church potlucks and makes enough to serve a crowd.

1. You can replace the almond extract in both the cake and icing with vanilla in the Blonde Texas Sheet Cake.
2. The addition of coconut in the icing will add more texture. With the addition of coconut in the frosting, you can replace the almond extract in the cake with coconut extract.
3. As well, lemon in both the cake and frosting will be out-of-this-world.
4. You can actually double the pecans in the frosting if you want more crunch.
5. Instead of pecans, you can add chopped almonds to the frosting.
6. If you want the cake to be white instead of yellow, replace the two eggs with four egg whites.
7. If you don’t have a 10x15x1 inch sheet pan, you can bake it in a 9×13 inch pan. You’ll need to increase the cooking time to 27 to 30 minutes.
