I know this seems to be the ultimate question, but does does anyone have a really wonderful white cake recipe?  I'm making a two tiered funfetti cake for my soon-to-be nephew's baby shower that will be covered in fondant.  It seems like the repeating problem I have with covering cakes in fondant is that since the fondant acts almost like a plastic wrap, my cakes end up too moist and dense (for my tastes anyways, it doesn't seem to bother anyone else).  I'm trying to find a somewhat sturdy white cake that isn't going to be so dense and moist that it's almost hard to swallow without chasing it with milk!  :)   I've got three cakes due within a week and a half on top of my full time job, so I really have one shot in making a great cake that works!

Thanks in advance!!

i really like sylvia weinstock's 'yellow' cake recipe

she has two that i know of --i like the one with sour cream

i just cut back on the egg yolks and it's white enough for me

use shortening and it's really white

but it's a great cake

and i typo'd this recipe once and i've been using 2.5 cups of flour :) 

Try "A better white cake"  .  It can be found on fromscratchsf.com .  It is by one of the CC moderators, Jennifer 

Bratko, and it is wonderful.  

AThe WASC recipe does really well. Recipe is here on CC.
