I made the WASC cake today but used butter flavoring instead of almond - It tasted incredibly awesome - almost melted in the mouth. I will be using this recipe again and again.

oh yes - i tried the WASC about 2 years ago and have been hooked ever since!

I will have to try the all butter flavoring method. When I tried the WASC in it's original form, I did not like the taste of the butter, vanilla, and almond together. Honestly, I don't like almond by itself either, but I'm not a fan of almond unless it's buttercream. But WASC with all vanilla flavoring is good!

Thanks for posting! I do not like almond in any form what-so-ever and that is the biggest reason that I have not tried WASC. I'm glad to hear that butter flavor (my favorite!) can be substituted. I'm more likely to try it now!

WBSC is all I have ever made. I know that I don't like almond flavoring so I've always used butter flavoring in place of the almond. I always tell customers the most popular cake I make is WBSC.

...also try using Creme Bouquet in your white bc with it. You can't beat it!!!

Here is a recipe that I got from someone on here (sorry I can't remember who) for homemade Creme Bouquet:

Homemade Creme Bouquet
1T. Lemon juice (I use lemon extract)
1t. real vanilla extract
1t. almond extract (this is the only place I like this)
1t. butter flavoring

The combination of flavors can't be beat. Smells like walking into my favorite bakery, Schmidts Pastry Cottage.

I love the butter flavor, too. Much more mellow.
