Hi All!
Since this recipe is ranked at #2 with over 4000 most saved recipes, I was hoping those of you who use it can answer a couple of questions for me???
1. It states bake at 325 degrees. However, how long does it usually take to cook for 2 8" round size pans?
2. Has anyone baked this recipe at 350 degrees? If so, how long for the same size pans?
3. What brand mix do you have success with??
4. Does this have a tight crumb? Meaning, if I carve/trim this cake to remove any bulging is it going to fall apart??
I appreicate your help.....
I only bake @ 325. I never time my cakes (because I always forget to set the timer!). When I start smelling the cake, I check it with my cake tester.
Oh and I used to use DH, but I've found Pillsbury is more moist and it doesn't have a strong chemical smell like the DH (white mix at least).
It normally take me a little over an hour to cook 8 in rounds at 325. I dont time either, I just check it after a while.
I don't ever cook at 350 just because I started cooking at 325 and it comes out really good, so I'm scared to change it.
I don't think it really matters what brand cake mix you use. I usually by whatever is on sale, and they all come out really good.
I usually go by trial and error. I have a "jiggle" test that I like to use. As you know, you should not open the oven in the first 45 mins of baking, or ker-plop the middle will sink in. After about 50 mins I turn on the light in the oven and gently shake the oven, if the cake jiggles (like Homer Simpson's belly), it is not ready. Once the cake passes the jiggle test and no longer jiggles, then I open up the oven and use my cake tester. I think last time I made an 8" round it took about 1 hour 10 mins, but every oven is different.

I bake at 300 for the first 20 mins then turn up to 325 for the remainder- usually 20 mins more. All my cakes turn out great, but the time varies...
I have had success with BC and DH mixes, but prefer DH. The Amazing cho WASC is just as amazing as the original. Everyone LOVES both and many say the original WASC tastes like a Tim Horton's sour cream donut (which they LOVE) .
Yes, it's GREAT for carving, but freeze it first, then carve. I usually level when it's cooled for at least 20 mins.
If you're using a BC filling and you don't like excessively sweet, then I'd recommend you cut the sugar a bit. I don't fill single layers with this recipe anymore. But using IndyDebi's BC does help cut the sweetness...
Enjoy! 
Sorry to hijack but...
about how many cups does the WASC make?
I am making 2 10" rounds + 2 6" rounds and am trying to figure out how many boxes of cake mix I'll need.
Thanks! Info I was curious about also.

I use 1 1/2 recipes for that, so three boxes of cake mix. My 10" pans are 3" deep and each one will take 1/2 recipe. Then I usually bake 3 of the 6" rounds in a 2" deep pan. Either I make the 6" tier taller (looks great that way) or I let my husband eat the extra layer.
oh my god ive been cooking it at 350 n comes out great every time, I use 2 use DH but sometimes the cake would break, 2night i tried Pillsbury & the cake came out good didnt fall apart!
