Have you visited the blog Mel's Kitchen Cafe? If you haven't I highly suggest that you do. Mel has a TON of delicious looking recipes, both savory and sweet. I've yet to make a recipe of hers that wasn't a winner. This White Texas Sheet Cake is her recipe as well and it's a keeper. Because I trusted Mel's recipe I changed things up just the tiniest bit. I like orange and almond together so I added some orange zest to brighten things up. Turns out that wasn't a bad idea as we loved the cake. There is one little change I'll make the next time I bake this and that's to cut back on the frosting. I thought it overwhelmed the cake. Shocking I know! I'm also thinking I'd like to try adding a thin layer of raspberry (maybe strawberry?) jam between the cake and frosting. Mel made a coconut one that she claims was equally delish so I'm thinking this recipe is pretty forgiving when it comes to changing up the flavor. Give it try and let me know what you think!
