Description

A moist and fluffy white sheet cake topped with a sweet and buttery glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13×18 inch baking sheet.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt butter and vegetable oil over medium heat. Stir in water and sugar. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda.
  4. Pour the hot butter mixture into the dry ingredients and mix well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add to the batter and mix until combined.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared baking sheet and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. While the cake is baking, prepare the glaze. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in milk and vanilla extract. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in powdered sugar until smooth.
  9. Pour the warm glaze over the warm cake and spread evenly. Let cool before cutting and serving.

Notes

  • You can add chopped nuts to the glaze for extra crunch.
  • Make sure the cake is still warm when you pour the glaze over it.
