Makeover White Texas Sheet Cake image

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!

This cake was okay, but it wasn't anything special. The cake was a little dry, and the frosting was too sweet for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and the frosting was too runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I would not recommend this recipe.
