This is the recipe I am using (From Rooh's post)

Butter Cake Recipe
*********************************************************
I used it for a stacked 14"square, 12"round, 8"square and 6"round wedding cake that a bride wanted. It held up beautifully. I frosted my cake with Earlene Moore's cream cheese icing and it turned out great.

This cake recipe is the maximum quantity for your 5 quart mixing bowl. It mixed up perfect in my Kitchen Aid Accolade. It yielded 15 1/2 cups cake batter.

2 Duncan Hines Butter Recipe cake mixes (I guess you could use any flavor)
2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
4 Sticks Butter (I used half butter, half margarine)
2 2/3 cups water
6 eggs
1 box French Vanilla Pudding Mix (instant)
2 tsp Baking Powder

Cream butter and sugar together. Add eggs, mix until blended. Add cake mix, pudding, flour and baking powder. Blend on low while drizzling in water in a thin stream. Mix until smooth (doesn't take long), and bake according to directions for your pan size.

My question is, I don't have butter mixes. Will it still work? And my mixes are French Vanilla (what the bride wanted).

Thanks! icon_redface.gif

No reason why it shouldn't work. But the question that comes to my mind is-has the bride tasted this recipe and approved of it? Depending on how you doctor up a mix the taste and texture can be very different. icon_smile.gif
