TEXAS ALMOND SHEET CAKE DONUTS

These Texas Almond Sheet Cake Donuts are my new best friends. Almond cake donuts dipped and dripped in the iconic Texas Sheet Cake icing only it’s almond flavored and topped off with slivered almonds.

Everything about these donuts has me smiling. I’m a huge almond lover so these are right up my alley. They have a light airy texture and a nice subtle almond flavoring. That icing though, makes these donuts. As it does with the cake as well. I would just eat it with a spoon all day every day. But….I don’t think that my teeth will enjoy that.
