🤔 Why is it called Texas Sheet Cake?
Most of the time, people ask me why is it called Sheet Cake. Well I think it first appeared in a Texas Newspaper and since then it is referred to as "Texas Sheet Cake".
Also, many people belive that since its a huge batch of cake made in a large sheet pan, which mimics the size or Texas, so the name - "Texas Sheet Cake"!
Whatever maybe the reason to call Sheet Cakes, Texas Sheet Cake, its always fun to bake these and are such a crowd pleaser!!!😋😋😋
🤩Perfect Sheet Cake for the Crowd
This is the perfect dessert to feed the crowd. It makes huge batch of cakes which easily feeds the crowd. Also, this can be easily made ahead of time and stored for a long time.
If you are using a full sized Sheet Pan which is about 26 by 18 inches, then you can make about 54 bars.
If you're making in a half sheet pan, which is about 18 by 13 inches, then you should make about 24 bars.
If you're making in a quarter sized Sheet Pan of size 9 by 13 inches, then you should make about 16 bars.
The standard size of Sheet Pan, most people use is that of 9 by 13 inches.

👩🍳 How to make Strawberry Sheet Cake?
STEP 1: MAKE CAKE BATTER
- Preheat the oven to 375F and line a 9x13" sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Add all the ingredients to make the cake batter (except the Strawberries) in a large mixing bowl
- Fold until combined using a wooden spatula. Add the freshly chopped Strawberries and fold once or twice.
- Pour this mixture in a lined sheet pan.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean.
STEP 2: HOW TO MAKE THE STRAWBERRY CREAM FROSTING
- Beat Heavy cream using a mixer until thick and creamy
- Blend a few Strawberries in a high speed blender and make a puree
- Combine the beaten cream with the Strawberry puree
- Smother the frosting over warm baked Sheet Cake.
- Top with freshly chopped Strawberries and Lemon Zest
- Cut into squares and serve.
💯 BONUS TIPS to bake a Sheet Cake evenly
- After you've poured the cake batter in the sheet pan, tap it on the counter a few times.
- This will get rid of air bubbles if any in the cake and get you an evenly baked sheet cake with a flat top.
Strawberry Sheet Cake with Cake Mix
Sheet Cake, especially Texas Sheet Cake is made using Cake Mix. However, I do not like packaged items so I have made this Sheet Cake using simple pantry ingredients.
However, if you're using boxed Cake Mix, you can use White Cake Mix or Strawberry Cake Mix if you can grab it.
If you're using Boxed Cake Mix, skip the All Purpose Flour, Baking Soda & Baking Powder
🌱 Is this Gluten Free and Vegan?
Well, this isn't really Gluten Free and Vegan. However to make a gluten free version, skip All Purpose Flour and use Gluten Free Baking Flour Blend.
For Vegan version, skip Eggs and use Flaxeggs (1tbsp Flaxseeds + 2 tablespoon water).
Also make your own Vegan Buttermilk using Almond milk and a tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar. Let it curdle for a minute and use.
🤔 Can I make this Strawberry Cake in the Slow Cooker?
Sheet Cakes are generally made in the Sheet Pan and hence the name "Sheet Cake"
However, if you do not want to bake in the oven, you can use the same recipe and dump and bake a simple Strawberry Cake in the Slow Cooker.
It will of course be equally delicious and comforting, only the shape and size will be different.
🧊 Storage
Store leftover Strawberry Sheet Cake in the freezer. You can wrap the leftovers with a foil and place it in the freezer for 2-3 months.
🤔 Can I use frozen Strawberries?
Of course, thaw and use frozen Strawberries. You can blend the Strawberries in a high speed blender and then use it.
