White Texas Sheet Cake

I was looking for a new recipe to try and with the holidays upon us, I wanted to bake something. With my head and heart in Texas, I happened to come across this recipe and decided I had to try it. This cake is moist and delicious. The frosting is the perfect kind of sweetness.

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, cubed
1 cup water
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Frosting:

1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
4 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions:

In a large saucepan, bring butter and water just to a boil. Immediately remove from heat; stir in the flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream, almond extract, baking soda, and salt until smooth.

Pour into a greased 15-in x 10-in baking pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and cake is golden brown. Cool for 20 minutes.

For frosting, in a large saucepan, combine butter and milk. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in sugar and extract. Stir in walnuts; spread over warm cake.
