If you love buttery cake recipes, don’t miss The Novice Chef’s white Texas almond sheet cake. The generous butter amount in the recipe creates a tender, moist cake that will melt in your mouth. Unlike other cakes that apply icing only after the cake cools, this recipe requires you to pour the icing on the cake while it still retains heat from the oven. The warm cake partially melts the icing to create an unusual icing texture that is both delicious and addictive.
4. Coca-Cola Cake

Easy cleanup is the name of the game with Averie Cooks’ Coca-Cola cake. Like all Texas sheet cake recipes, this one uses a single baking pan. Aside from the pan, it only requires a single bowl and a saucepan, and you don’t even need a mixer. The recipe uses Coca-Cola in both the cake and in the icing for flavor and sweetness. Though this recipe does not use time-saving cake mix, it does have a small ingredient list, so you likely have what you need for a homemade cake in your kitchen already.
5. Black Forest Texas Sheet Cake
If chocolate-covered cherries make your day, don’t hesitate to prepare I Wash…You Dry’s black forest cake. This recipe takes the flavors of black forest cake, which usually is a layer cake, and rearranges them into an easy to assemble and serve sheet cake. Among Texas sheet cake recipes, this retains the chocolate base and icing and adds a fruity twist with cherry pie filling.
