Hey there
Does anyone have a good recipe for cake dense enough for carving.
My recipes all focus around making moist cake.
Thanks for any help
Ash

I agree. I used it for the brown puppy in my photos. It carves well and tastes really good.

Do you think it's okay to use butter and milk in place of the water and oil in this recipe? Also, does it have to be egg whites or could the whole eggs be used?

I don't know about you all..but I am funny about pound cake..it is either very very good or very very bad .... I cringe even thinking about making it.

I think so...though butter might make it more crumbly.

I actually used 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg. I like the richness that yolks give. (I think whites are better for structure though...maybe...I don't know icon_smile.gif )

This is a very rich-tasting recipe. I made a cake for my husband's company birthday yesterday and used it for one of the tiers. I filled it with strawberry filling and lemon cream cheese filling and it was divine. People just gobbled it up.
