| 1/2 cup | Canola oil |

| 2 | Eggs |
| 2 tsp | Vanilla extract |

Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s adequately heated for baking.
-
Prepare Baking Sheet: Grease a 17″ x 11″ baking sheet, ensuring it’s well-coated to prevent sticking.
-
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and sugar, whisking them together until evenly incorporated.
-
Prepare Butter Mixture: In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter together with the canola oil and water, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Once the butter mixture is ready, pour it over the flour and sugar mixture in the bowl. Beat the ingredients together thoroughly until a smooth batter forms.
-
Incorporate Eggs and Flavorings: To the batter, add the eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking soda, and buttermilk. Beat the mixture until all the ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
-
Transfer to Baking Sheet: Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking sheet, spreading it out evenly to ensure even baking.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Prepare Frosting: While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of butter, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
-
Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. You may need to add more powdered sugar to achieve the right texture.
-
Frost the Cake: Once the cake is baked and still warm, spread the prepared frosting evenly over the surface. The warmth of the cake will help the frosting to spread smoothly and evenly.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the cake to cool slightly before slicing and serving. This White Texas Buttermilk Sheet Cake is best enjoyed fresh, with each tender bite offering a burst of irresistible flavor and creamy indulgence.
