Ingredients
This recipe for classic Lemon Texas Sheet Cake requires just a few simple ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, butter, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, lemon juice, and lemon zest. You will also need a 9x13 inch baking pan, parchment paper, and a mixing bowl.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Beat in the sour cream and then stir in the lemon juice and zest.
Mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. Spread the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Tips for Perfect Lemon Texas Sheet Cake
For an extra lemony flavor, try adding an extra tablespoon of lemon juice or lemon zest to the batter. You can also add some fresh blueberries or raspberries to the batter for a fruity twist. For a creamier texture, substitute the sour cream with Greek yogurt.
If the cake is browning too quickly in the oven, try lowering the oven temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit. To avoid a dry cake, make sure to not overbake it. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean, but not dry.
For an even richer flavor, try substituting some of the all-purpose flour with almond flour. For an extra special touch, try adding a few drops of food coloring to the glaze before drizzling it over the cake.
