DAIRY-FREE TEXAS SHEET CAKE
I love Texas Sheet Cake, but now that I've found out that I'm allergic to dairy I can't have it as written. This recipe is modified from a recipe on Food.com, #73630, made dairy-free with soy milk "buttermilk" (also from a recipe by Kree) and margarine substitution for the butter. I haven't tried it yet, but am about to for my birthday cake.

Tips:
- Use almond flour for a gluten-free option: Almond flour is a great substitute for all-purpose flour in this recipe, making it a delicious gluten-free treat.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking: If you prefer a less sweet cake, reduce the amount of granulated sugar in the recipe. You can also use a sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is fully cooked.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
