Our work does monthly birthday cakes. I had a piece of one the other day. It was a white cake with a soft crumb and not very dense. It was not very sweet either. Does anyone have a recipe that fits that bill? I have been using Macsmom's white cake and that recipe is more dense than this cake from work. Any recipes? Thanks!!
Hi,
Have you tried the WASC recipe on here. Its wonderful and not too sweet at all. I mean, I like it, lol.
I've always wondered what in the world is 'white' cake.
Is white a flavor? Why don't we call chocolate cake 'brown' cake?
Your description reminds me of a straight box mix - like Betty Crocker brand.
The *original* WASC recipe is designed to be similar to a pound cake - maybe a bit more dense than you want but I suggest you try it;
whats macsmoms recipe? I've trief fromscratchSF off the blog, which was great when I got it to work. I am in an everlasting search for good white cake...

It's called white cake because it is made with egg whites rather than whole eggs or yolks causing the product to be a white colored cake (rather than ivory-- with whole eggs OR yellow-- with egg yolks). It could be any flavor depending on what the baker uses.

How did you get it to work? I was so eager because it had such great reviews. While it had a nice flavour, it was too dense and heavy for my liking. I used milk and sour cream.
I also chose to use egg whites.
chocolatestone~I have mixed reviews. The first time I made it, I thought I had gold in a pan! LOL It was wonderfull. The following week, every cake I baked with the same ingredients fell in the middle and were unsalvagable. I used shortening (sweetex) and egg whites. The first time was a complete success (light, fluffy and white, pretty tasty) the second week, same ingredients total failure. And I weighed them all like it said. So I still want to try it again when I'm not busy just to see where I went wrong.
