A rich, buttery egg less white sheet cake recipe which is very easy to prepare, especially if you are in a hurry and want to feed a crowd.
- 1 cup butter, cubed
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 cup silken tofu
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 4 cups confectioner's sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- Preheat oven at 375F for 15 min. Grease a jelly roll pan (15x10x1-inch pan) with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
- In a large sauce pan, bring the butter and water to a boil and set aside.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients one at a time. The batter must be smooth.
- Pour the batter in the prepared pan and bake it for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Mine was done in 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 20 minutes.
- In a large pan, bring the butter and milk to a boil and remove from heat. Stir in the confectioner's sugar, extract, nuts and toffee bits. Add food coloring and stir well, if using and spread over warm cake.
- I felt that the cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would be cutting back at least 1/4 cup of sugar from the cake recipe when I'm making it again. That's the reason I reduced the quantity of sugar in the frosting recipe. The original recipe had used 4.5 cups of sugar.
- I did another mistake of not following the recipe. I did not mix the nuts/toffee bits with the frosting and before spreading it on the cake. I wanted to some decoration on the frosting, so that I can use some sprinkles, M&Ms, nuts, etc on the cake after pouring the frosting. But the frosting started getting harder and the sprinkles were not sticking to it.
- I have used 1/2 cup of pureed silken tofu instead of 2 eggs mentioned in the original recipe.
