I made one this weekend and accidentally left the sugar out. First, it had a very bad taste, not just less sweet, it just wasn't good at all. It didn't brown at all and seemed super dense. I ended up throwing it out.

Sugar is essential to the texture of a cake, it helps the cake rise and prevents it from becoming rubber. You need to add the sugar.

This is a random guess, but what if you added more salt?

Oh, and the added sugar also gives the nice soft crumb...makes it tender...learned that from the Cake Mix Doctor book!

WASC = White Almond Sour Cream. Go to the recipes section and the recipe is there. Give it a try, it's really yummy.
