Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Water
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 2 pieces Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 4 cups Powdered sugar
• 4 tablespoons Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 0.5 cup Butter, softened (for frosting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch sheet cake pan.

Step 2

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the butter and water, stirring occasionally until the butter is completely melted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Gradually add the melted butter and water mixture into the cream cheese mixture, stirring until fully combined.

Step 6

Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared sheet pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 10

To make the frosting, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl. Gradually add the milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting is smooth and spreadable.

Step 11

Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cake, using an offset spatula to ensure a smooth finish.

Step 12

Slice the cake into squares or rectangles to serve. Enjoy this luscious Cream Cheese Sheet Cake!
