Almond Sheet Cake

My family has an addiction to almond extract.

The smell is seriously heavenly.

My mom and I were exploring yummy recipes about a month or so ago and came across this recipe that we knew would be perfect for us.

Let me introduce you to a slice of heaven.

If you are like us, and love the flavor of almond extract, then this cake is for you!  It is a super most cake and the flavor is divine!

• 1 Cup Butter
• 1 Cup Water
• 2 Cups Flour
• 2 Cups Sugar
• 1 tsp. Baking Soda
• 1/2 Cup Sour Cream
• 2 Eggs
• 1 1/2 tsp. Almond Extract

ALMOND ICING

• 1/2 Cup Butter
• 1/4 Cup Milk
• 3 1/2-4 Cups Powder Sugar
• 1 tsp. Almond Extract

Preheat oven to 375 F

In a small sauce pan, add the water and butter and bring to a boil.  


In your mixing bowl, add the flour and sugar. 


Pour the boiling water and butter mixture over the flour and sugar mixture.  Beat well.


Add the baking soda.


Add the Almond Extract.


Add the Sour Cream.


And the eggs


Mix again, scraping down the sides at least once. 

Pour the batter into a 9x13 or larger pan. 


Bake at 375 F for 20-25 minutes until the middle is set. 


Let the cake cook for 20-30 minutes before starting your icing. 




ALMOND ICING

Bring the butter and milk to a boil in a small sauce pan. 


Add the remaining ingredients to a large mixing bowl.   Once the milk and butter are boiling, pour into the mixing bowl.  Stir until well mixed. 


Add more powder sugar if you need a thicker consistency.  It should be pourable though. 

Pour onto the cake and let sit for 20 minutes. 


Enjoy!
