I had plenty of lemons and raspberries left to make an ice cream to go with this. What a refreshing summer dessert!

Prep time: 15 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 45 Min
Ingredients:
Cake
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup minus 2 Tablespoons water
- 2 teaspoons lemon rind
- 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/3 teaspoons lemon extract
Icing
- 6 Tablespoons butter
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 3/4 recipe raspberry glaze
Instructions:
Cake
- Generously grease a half sheet or jelly roll pan (MiMi used this sheet pan) and preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a large bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, sugar, sour cream, lemon extract and eggs. Stir until completely combined.
- Place butter, water, lemon rind, lemon juice in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Add the hot butter mixture to the flour mixture and stir well. Pour into the prepared jelly roll pan.
- Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until it tests done. Cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes while you make the icing.
Icing
- Combine the butter, and milk in a sauce pan. Heat over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture just starts to boil. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon extract.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, stirring the mixture until it reaches a good consistency for spreading.
- After the cake has cooled for 20 minutes, spread the warm icing on the cake. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- When ready to serve, spread the raspberry glaze over the cake. Slice and enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI wanted to thank you for stopping by, however, it seems you're a "no reply blogger" and I couldn't find an email addy here. :/ Seems Google + does that ~ that's why I don't use it. :)

DeleteI didn't know Texas sheet cake could be anything but chocolate. It's one of my favorite cakes. I love lemon and raspberry, too. Pinned! #anythinggoes
ReplyDeleteWe have been having a lot of fun making quite a few different varieties lately. We had a peanut butter one for little guys birthday, a white one for Father's Day and a peanut butter and chocolate one not long ago. (Oh yeah, and an Elvis inspired one a week or two ago!!) I think we might be obsessed!
DeleteI've only heard of chocolate or peanut butter sheet cakes so this one is blowing me away! Looks so good! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! This post has been pinned on the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! I love having you and can't wait to see you next week!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fresh twist on the classic. It is so much fun to make a cake and frosting stove top in a saucepan!
