MAKEOVER WHITE TEXAS SHEET CAKE
This tried and true recipe is absolutely delicious. Nearly 15 years ago, Joanie wrote, "With its creamy frosting and light almond flavor, no one can stop at just one piece!" That certainly is still accurate today. Another reader, Kaye Buckley, from Springfield, Massachusetts loves this recipe and was wondering if we could do a makeover on it. Without being able to see a noticeable difference in flavor, our team cut over 50% of the fat, and more than a third of the calories. Enjoy!
