Vanilla Cake From Scratch That I Can Carve?
Decorating By melyissa Updated 21 Jul 2007 , 10:04pm by coreenag
Hey everyone. I don't know if this is the correct forum, but this is the one I'm always in so...sorry if I should have posted elsewhere. I have a cake due tomorrow...a little girl's birthday cake. I usually just doctor up a cake mix but I seem to not have enough...silly me. I was looking for a vanilla cake recipe that will be dense enough for me to carve a little (nothing drastic). All the vanilla recipes I see have buttermilk in them. The few times I've used buttermilk, I wasn't particularly happy with the results. I only have the powdered buttermilk....
Any suggestions would be very helpful!
THANK YOU!
I see your post is on page 2 with no response yet=( So gonna bump you back up to the top in hopes that someone has a great recipe for you! GL, Jen
I use the Classic White Cake II from the recipe section. It's a great tasting cake and carves pretty well. Otherwise you could always do a pound cake.
What are you carving it into? If it is more extreme I'd use a pound cake, but most vanilla butter cakes should hold up fine. The Mermaid Bakery one in the recipe section is good as is the WBH one in the recipes too. HTH's!
