pan-size conversions<\/a>, if you want to go that route. Alternatively you can make a full recipe in any combination of other pans that add up to roughly the same size (two 11×7-inch rectangular pans, two 9-inch squares or 10-inch rounds, three 8-inch rounds, or a 13×9-inch and a 6-inch square). If that\u2019s too much math, make a 13×9-inch cake and just bake the rest as cupcakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This classic white Texas sheet cake is delicious, and surprisingly quick and easy to make.

Basted on other people's comment's that it was too sweet, I cut the sugar in the frosting by a quarter cup, when I make again, I'll probably cut it down another 1\/4 cup. Since I thought an almond flavored cake should have almonds in it, I experimented by frosting half the cake with walnuts and half of it with sliced almonds. It was unanimous amongst all of us that did a taste comparison that the almonds won. So the next time I make will be with all almonds. So delicious and rich!
