White Texas Sheet Cake. Hmmmm. For a southern girl who has only had the chocolate version, this seemed a bit unnatural, but I was game, so I tried the recipe for my daughter’s 27th birthday. Oh. My. Goodness. Gracious. It was so good, and we were all snatching little pieces of it the rest of the evening. I had to give half to my daughter to take home because I knew I would not be able to stay away from it. Enjoy this. And definitely use the coarse sugar sprinkles.
