On my way to 100 recipes in 100 days.  Here is recipe 29: Sour Cream Sheet Cake!

My husband’s mom makes a wonderful Texas Sheet Cake.  It is a favorite of all of his friends and he requests it for dessert if Apple Pie isn’t and option.

Sour Cream Sheet Cake

This cake is basically made the same way.  You start with the ingredients in a sauce pan to cook over heat, then do the mixing.  This cake is moist and delicate and the frosting is wonderful.  The thing I like about this cake and Texas Sheet Cake is that it isn’t too sweet.  I served this with fresh sliced strawberries and it disappeared quickly.
