I made the WASC recipe this morning. Let me preface this by saying I am not a cake snob, and I use a doctored mix for my cakes. I'm going to be honest and I hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings.
I didn't really like it. It didn't taste bad, but to me it was sort of bland. I could really tell the butter was missing. I think I just prefer cakes with butter in them. |

Just for kicks I'd like to try the White on White cake and the Vanilla Cake from the Mermaid Bakery.
Can anyone tell me how they translate into a 9x13? Do they make a good size cake. Also...has anyone tried whole eggs instead of egg whites just to see how it tastes? |

The WASC recipe actually originated from REBECCA SUTTERBY (just to set the record straight).
NO< NO< NO!!!!!!!!!! That is NOT true!!
I was the one who gave the recipe to Rebecca Sutterby. She then tweeked it to her liking for her white wedding cake orders! |

I honestly don't know  I usually only do layer cakes. I would probably use two batches for the 11X15; and two also with the 9X13, having some left over batter. |

For a scratch cake I love this recipe, I double it for a 10" round. I keep trying to post it in the recipes but it just won't work, so here it is...
This is Australian recipe, you can convert the measurements here,
http://www.onlineconversion.com/weight_common.htm
Vanilla Butter Cake
125g butter
3/4 cup milk
3 eggs
1 tbs vanilla essence
1 cup castor (fine) sugar
1 1/2 cups self raising flour
Melt butter and milk together, cool.
Beat eggs and vanilla until thick and creamy in another bowl,
gradually add sugar beating well after each addition, add milk mixture and sifted flour half at a time, mix until combined.
Bake in lined tin at 180C (you can convert this at the above site also)
Cool slightly in tin before turning out onto rack.
I bakes really evenly I hardly ever have to level it off, and it lasts really well, staying moist up to a week, I have also used it to carve up for 3D cakes.
I love it and use it all the time. 
I do mostly do scratch cakes but I'd really love to give the WASC a try, no Betty Crocker White cake mix around here though I'm afraid  |

That IS pretty unbelievable. WalMart of all places, who'duv thunk.
And now I am LOL about you craving the Mermaid Bakery cake. I just didn't think that one had enough flavor. Dang it why can't we all just agree on one recipe, wouldn't the world be an easier place?!  |

This has been the greatest thread to read. Thanks so much to everyone for your input. I need to make my first big order of cupcakes and I wanted a nice dense white cake, and your info has been a big help. I wanted to try the WASC cake recipe but somewhere there was a compaint that they turn out sort of tacky on top which, in turn, makes the icing not stick to the cc. Has anyone had a problem with this? Would I be better off with one of the other recipes suggested in this thread?
Thanks so much

I use a modified version of the WASC and I've never had a problem with it. I have noticed that some complaints come from those who eventually found out if they had used this brand or that brand or not so much of this or that things usually smooth out for them. Or they dump the recipe alltogether and find something they do like. Play with recipes and stick with ones you like. You'll also find friends and family are the best taste testers! |

When I tried the WASC recipe yesterday, I made cupcakes and iced them. I had no problem with the icing falling off. But I didn't really enjoy the taste of the cake as much as I had hoped to. |
