It's the white almond sour cream cake in the recipe section. There are also many variations of it like chocolate, strawberry. orange, lemon--etc.

IT'S a REALLY good cake.

I have made this cake 3 or 4 times in the last month, everyone says that it is the best cake they have every had!! I have used it with a raspberry cream, strawberry, and cookies and cream filling and all were a hit! It is also, so easy to make.
You have to try it.

i think i may have messed this up somehow. i made it and it did not rise at all and it tasted like playdoh as an aftertaste.

Any ideas?

Does the cake have a strong almond taste? I've always wanted to try it, but am not a big fan of almond flavoring.

Susie, you can substitute the almond in it with other flavors. That's what I do.

I've used it to make stacked cakes, Babycakes.

I've also used it to make cupcakes, Briansbaker.

I made this cake w/o the almond, and I did not like it. swingme83 you hit the nail on the head with that one!! I could not get that taste out of my mouth for an hour! Sorry, that is just my taste buds' opinion.

Just substitute the almond for a bit more vanilla if you are not a fan of almond.

This is a wonderful cake but I don't like the almond either. I just double up on the vanilla. Next time, I will try adding white chocolate.

Babycakes99 it is good for wedding cakes. I did the bottom tier of a wedding cake a couple of weeks ago with the WASC cake, with another cake stacked on top. I don't think the almond flavor is that strong, but I agree that you can substitute it with other flavors. Also, this cake cuts very nicely.

the WASC cake is so good that you can make it with any flavoring. I love almond, but I've made it with just vanilla, coconut, rum, irish cream and creme de cacao. Everyone loves it!

Just wondering if anybody can help me with what the actual "white cake" is? In australia we have sponge, butter, maderia cakes and I can't find a "White Cake" to purchase?
I would love to try this recipe but am having trouble defining the "white cake".

Thanks

Debbie

A recipe here...

I haven't tried the recipe, but hopefully, this will give you an idea of what it is, and see if it's similar to recipes you may already have.


Hope this helps,


Holly

Here, most vanilla cake mixes are yellow for some reason. The white cake uses egg whites and probably clear vanilla so it stays white and I guess it's mainly so it looks nicer? I'm not really sure. They're usually a little more dense too, I find
