There are a couple of recipes that use gelatin. In case you have any doubts, this substance is the same as gelatin, therefore, it has neither taste nor color. It is a semi-solid mixture that provides a very characteristic texture to meals. This is extracted from the bones and cartilage of animals, making it a great option for knee ailments.
Oh yummy!!! Thank you for this recipe! I love white Texas Sheet Cake! But I love almond anything!! This will be superb!!! Can’t wait to make it!!’
Can you use coconut flour instead?
What is the sheet pan measurements for the almond sheet cake?
I would say a cookie sheet; size 15 x 10
What size pan for the Almond sheet cake? I have 13×9 and also a larger Wilton sheet pan
How many servings does this make?
I just made this and WOW!!!
13×9 pan, had to cook mine a bit longer- but turned out perfect.
A long time ago, O’Charley’s used to give out these lovely birthday cakes and then they stopped for their pies. This is that cake that I have been longing for a long time.
Thank you so much.
I had an issue where the cake was not fully baked after 18-20 minutes and I had to add an additional 30 minutes before the toothpick came out clean.
Delicious, though!
What size of sheet cake pan??
13×9 pan 🙂
I followed recipe & used a 15×10 and it was perfect
I want to know what size pan to use.
13×9 pan
A sheet pan is not 9″ x 13″ , so if people use 9″ x 13″ it needs to bake longer. I think it’d be a kind deed to change the directions to traditional baking pan size 9″ x 13″ for x number of minutes (I’m guessing well over 20) or jelly roll pan (10.5″ x 15.5″). Texas sheet cake is typically baked in a jelly roll pan (10.5 x 15.5) or a half-sheet pan (13 x 18). Thank you for considering this request.
I thought the same thing. Sheet cake is made in a big pan that’s why it doesn’t take long to bake.
Would cake flour be the right flour to use in this recipe or all purpose flour? thank you
Why do you boil the butter and water/milk for the cake and frosting. Is it necessary?
It melts the sugar
I was just about to make this and thought the same thing. I have never boiled ingredients together before baking a cake. So it’s not a misprint, You DO boil the ingredients.
If you’re adding salt and baking powder, just be sure you’re not using self-rising flour. The only difference in cake flour and all purpose flour is the cornstarch in cake flour, essentially.
Does this cake rise enough to make a layer cake? 2 x 8″ or 9″. Has anyone tried it?
LOVE almond anything so looking forward to making this cake! I plan to use a 10×15 pan instead of 9×13, though. Thanks for sharing!
Could you make this ahead and freeze?
Do you think this would freeze well?
Why do you boil the water and butter, and the butter and milk and for how long?
Is the T a teaspoon or tablespoon regarding the almond. ?
Tablespoon 🙂
The salt and baking powder as well???
Traditionally a lowercase t is teaspoon and uppercase T is tablespoon, correct?
Yes..tsp or t is teaspoon and T or Tbls. is Tablespoon
It’s a teaspoon. I just made it & followed recipe exactly & it’s delicious.
Maria, just a suggestion you may want to change the small t to a capitol T for tablespoon.
I can’t wait to make this.
If it’s a Tbsp. for the almond, does that mean it’s also a Tbsp. for the baking powder?
Has anyone used coconut with this recipe? If so, how much?
Was it Tablespoon or teaspoon on the ingredients as asked before? Thanks!
The recipe calls for a teaspoon..with the small “t”.A Tablespoon of Almond extract..salt and baking powder would NOT be a good result or taste Lol..Almond Extract is very strong and i cant imagine what a Tablespoon of salt would taste like😖
Hope it was all Teaspoons since t and not Tablespoon is T. Hope mine turns out and I not wasted things using the t
Why boil the water and butter. do you let it cool before adding it to mixture,
I really want to make this cake, it looks so delicious, just curious about the hot water in the batter.
I just made it and I let it sit while getting the dry ingredients together. I had no problems with it at all
This cake is great, taste amazing! Thanks for sharing. A sheet cake typically is baked on a jelly roll pan, better known as a cookie sheet. A 9×13 is to small for what this recipe calls for. You could use it however you would need to increase your baking time for a thicker cake. It’s a teaspoon of almond extract not a tablespoon. A tablespoon would be way too over powering and taste bad. Another tip if you want this cake to look pure white, use clear extract. You can buy it in clear that’s the secret to keeping things white white.
Is the cake supposed to be really dense and heavy. It tastes good but I was thinking it would be more light and fluffy like a cake.
Mine didn’t even rise it’s real heavy and I used all purpose flour I don’t know what happened
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Do you mix with electric mixer or by hand with a spoon or whisk? How long do you recommend mixing?
Kind regards, Susan
Also can I substitute the butter in the cake with coconut oil?
