White Texas Sheet Cake

Stone, Lucy and I loaded up the car for our monthly visit with Ms. Betty, my mother-in-law.  It takes three hours to get to Tullahoma.  We visit four to five hours, then journey the three hours back home.  Our first stop was Krispy Creme Donuts before we left Knoxville.  Donuts are always on the list every month when we visit.  Lucy gets so excited when we go through the drive through to make our purchase.  More often than not she receives a doggy treat.  

As I do every month I bake a sweet treat for Ms. Betty and her friends to have with their dinner along with the burgers from Krystal's that Stone picks up.  This month I made White Texas Sheet Cake.  

This buttery cake is a great cake to make a day ahead.
