Thanks. I've been looking for this too!

Your welcome!! Glad that I could help!!!

allison, I like your cake with the diamonds and pearls, I have to do a cake like this for Sept., how deep on the pans, 2in or 3in? did u use one layer cakes and split them, or two cakes for each layer? and it is all buttercream and how long did u wait to put the impression mat on? Thanks, Jen

ok, I wanted to try this ( got a request for white cake) is it really that much salt? I usually bake from scratch and I never add salt ( i do use salted butter though) I would hate to make a recipe not how it is supposed to be done firstly but wow that much salt makes me nervous

Thanks... i have been looking for this too!!

Don't forget to give credit where credit is due... the White Almond Sour Cream Cake recipe was contributed to the Recipes section of CC by Squirrelly Cakes

Thanks, Squirrelly Cakes! Excellent recipe!

It doesn't appear in the recipe section but that's a really nice thing to do

She would be the first to tell you though that the recipe isn't hers. The recipe has appeared on many forums/sites without proper attribution. That just goes to show what a wonderful recipe it is though.

I didn't know that Squirrelly posted it here once, otherwise I would have given her credit for being the first to post it on CC, but I originally got it from recipezaar a long time ago. I don't think that it's posted in the recipe section here.

I know SQC and I would hope that if I posted the recipe and forgot to mention it was hers (if it was her original recipe) that she would not be too mad at me!

lilthorner -- Don't be afraid of the salt. Besides acting as a preservative, it also cuts down on the cloying sweetness of any recipe that has a lot of sugar in it.

I've used this recipe a lot. It is delicious. The salt does no harm. It just enhances/balances the flavor.

thank you ksue...


i am a scratch baker and one thing my gramma alwats said (beat into my head) is that salt makes a cake taste commercial. LOL old habits die hard.

I do have some raspberry preserves but it has seeds. I need to either get some more or get a sleeve.

I also used the sour cream for a chocolate pound cake so I gotta get more of that LOL... I am in dire need of some frosting though so I may just make this cake today.

I just took my first WASC cake out of the oven. Made the double batch, 2 10" rounds, and some cupcakes. OMG! This is the yummiest cake yet. It will be a standard suggestion for stacked cakes. The texture is perfect, the taste is somewhat sweet, but very smooth.
If you haven't tried this recipe yet, I recommend it.

I just made the WASC and put it together this eve. I used the raspberry whipped cream filling in the raspberry cream cake recipe (on CC). It is absolutely deeelish!

Just to let everyone know, I made the full recipe, and got two 10" layers and exactly 24 small cupcakes (for my son's school birthday celebration). I can't believe it worked out so well! Just thought you all would like to know how much you can get out of this recipe.

I just tried this recipe I made it with the white cake mix and LOVED IT!!!! So I got out the chocolate cake mix and tried it with that LOVED IT!!! I took some to my friends and they ate the whole dozen in one sitting, they each had 3 of them. They were asking when they could have more!

I totally agree this cake recipe is addicting. Our family liked it best with the French Vanilla BC mix. I tried it with the reg. White and also Milk Choc all were good. But next time for choc. I think I will go with a darker flavor. I am looking forward to more experiments with this recipe

I'm going to try this recipe and need some suggestions on what fillings to try with it. I saw the rasp one. I could try that but I'm not much on fruit fillings. I also saw mention of a cookies and cream filling but couldnt' find a recipe on that one. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Love this place!!!!!!




Michelle

This site is so addicting.
Could you use whole eggs in this recipe and if so how many would you use?

Punkyf

Ok I made the Devils Food.. VERY VERY ADDICTING


And to punkyf I used just 3 Whole eggs in all the ones I have done With just the 1 box recipe. And they turned out AWESOME.

I'll try 6 whole eggs in the 2 box recipe and see how it works. I didn't think that 8 whole eggs would be ok. It may be a few days though. I'll let ya know.

Punkyf

I'm also new to the forum! I love this site!

I keep hearing about this recipe! It must be that good. At first, i want to make a cake from scratch for my daughters valentine school party. This recipe really convinced me to try! I read in another forum to add 3 whole eggs (to 1 cake mix box) and omit the almond. Is it okay to use less sugar, as I don't like the cakes too sweet. How much would you suggest? 3/4 cup to 1 cake mix?

What kind of frosting would you sugguest?

Angelbabies -
My advice: Try this recipe first as it's written, because it has a very nice flavor and you will probably think it has the perfect amout of sugar. And I would recommend a simple icing like the buttercream dream recipe, so you don't overpower the cake. I made it once with IMBC, and I thought that the frosting took away from the almond flavor of the cake.

Thank you for the suggestion Littlemom!

I'm making this for a preschool's class. Would some kids be allergic to almond extract if one of them are allergic to nuts? how about using imitaion almond extract vs pure almond extract?

Hello! I am going to make this cake for my pastor and his wife this weekend and they love chocolate, so I wanted to use the Fudgy Ganache for the icing. Anyone ever try this? Would that be too sweet for this cake? I have never made the WASC cake before and was really wanting to try it with the ganache, but I'm concerned about it being too sweet. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

You can use a chocolate cake mix, or add cocoa to a white cake mix for a chocolate WASC cake.

Here's an expanded flavors recipe of WASC cake:

Also, using a Duncan Hines cake mix (no added pudding) will make your cake less sweet.
