How to Make Texas Sheet Cake Bites in an Oven

  7. Stir in the vanilla, powdered sugar, and chopped pecans until smooth.
  8. While the frosting is still warm, spoon a tablespoon of it over each cake bite.

You can store these Texas Sheet Cake Bites for 3-5 days, or even longer if properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For best results, store them before frosting to maintain their shape and integrity.

Helpful Tips & Substitutions

  • If you don’t have sour cream, you can use buttermilk as a substitute. Just remember to adjust the amount of cold coffee accordingly.

  • These cake bites can be frozen for later enjoyment. Simply allow them to cool completely, then freeze them in freezer-safe bags. Thaw overnight on the countertop before frosting.

  • Don’t limit yourself to just pecans! Get creative with different toppings like walnuts, slivered almonds, or mini chocolate chips.
