I'm making the white almond sour cream for the first time. two questions. My cake doesn't seem to be rising as much as a normal mix would (I haven't tried scratch baking yet). I only mixed it a couple of minutes as the recipe said but should i have mixed it longer to make it rise more?? I followed the directions exactly.
It should work just like any extended cake mix. Mine rise just fine, but I also do not watch them either. I have the occasional cake mix do this though, so it may not be your recipe it may be the mix if it doesn't rise.
I have also started adding 1 tsp of baking powder when I extend a cake mix and havn't had any trouble since.

I baked my first one tonight too. The batter tasted awesome! Mine didn't rise like box cakes usually do either; it stayed pretty level which was fine with me. It also seemed very moist. It's wrapped and in the freezer ready for decorating on Friday.
We're having a 43rd anniversary party for my parents Friday night and I can't wait to try it. Has anyone ever tried a chocolate almond sour cream cake?
I'm going to put strawberry filling between the layers and I can't decide whether to use chocolate buttercream, white buttercream or fondant.
I just wanted to let you all know that my WASC turned out great. It's not quite as sweet as a normal white cake I didn't think, which is good. Thanks so much for all of the help!! It didn't rise like I expected and it was denser but it's a great recipe. It was very moist.
choc wasc is very tasty! 
just use choc mix instead and 6 eggs instead of 8 egg whites
I love this recipe as well. I have made it into a chocolate cake by adding Hershey's syrup. It was so tasty! There are a lot of variations on this cake to try different flavors. Try berry jusice instead of water and stir in berries. Substitute 1 cup lemon juice for water and use 6 whole eggs, lemon zest and 1 tsp lemon extract.

Hmm, I didn't do that...just changed the box mix and no almond--extra vanilla. Looks like there is more than one way to switch this recipe to chocolate!! 
Good to know!
I love the WASC cake too! Also, if you don't need an actually white colored cake, you can use this recipe with yellow boxed mix or even a white mix and use the 6 whole eggs instead of the 8 egg whites. I hate wasting the yolks.
I love the chocolate version too - very dense and moist. Everyone loves this cake!
