Texas sheet cake recipes make perfect desserts for summer cookouts and pot luck dinners. These cakes taste delicious and reduce your efforts in the kitchen. Rather than needing ice between and around separate layers of cake, you just cover the top of a Texas sheet cake with icing and leave the cake in the pan. These cakes make the perfect dessert for gatherings because they travel well and have a greater surface, so more people can eat cake.

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.
