Hello All,

I just completed my course 1 in Wilton and I am in love with cake decoration Have been religiously following this website and its the best place ever

So far I have been using pillsbury or BC cake mix but I prefer to work on a receipe from scratch. Can anyone suggest a simple white cake receipe?
P.S: I bought all purpose flour....will this work as a basic ingredient instead of cake flour?

Thank you all in advance for your inputs...Cant wait to read them all.

Happy cake decorating!

So far my favorite is Rose Levy Berenbaum's white velvet cake recipe, moist and wonderful... I haven't tried Colette's or Toba Garrett's, but I AM hooked on Toba's chocolate fudge cake, Oh My Goodness!

Hello Homecook:

Thanks for your instant reply. Do you know where I can find this receipe?

Rose Levy B's may have been posted somewhere on here--try searching her name in the forums... I'd post it but it's after midnight and I'm tired. Try me in the a.m. if you don't have any luck, and I can PM you a copy...It's the only white cake I make.

whoops--her book is called The Cake Bible, and it really is...

Maria,

Try Toba's fudge cake. I make it exactly, only I can NOT find Dutch processed cocoa here, so I substitute regular, with no problems. I have used Rose's fudge cake, and I'm always still trying to find that One Chocolate Scratch Cake to be "the one". My DH HATES cake (go figure), and I made Toba's cake last night, and he said that's the One. He's that way about Rose's white velvet cake too, and I use Sylvia W.'s yellow cake but haven't tried Toba's.

you have probably made the cake, but edencakes posted a recipe caled a better white scratch cake and it is so good! I made it for the first time for a friends baby shower. just white cake with white buttercream.. oh yea
