Ok, I prob have a silly question for you all! I am making a cake, and honestly, I am doing it out of the box tonight! The box requires 3 eggs, well I have to make 3 boxes. I also have to use 3 egg yokes for german chocolate filling. I cant run to the store right now, and I dont have enough eggs! Now does anyone know if I can just use egg whites instead of the whole eggs? I do want to make sure the cake is still moist!
I so thank you for your help in advance!

White cake is made with only whites and when I make the WASC version it's very moist. If was in your dilema I would add some whole eggs and some whites per batch if I could. But here's another thought to consider: an egg white has less volume than a whole egg, so if you're only adding whites you may throw your recipe off. Does that make sense? I hope someone has some more solid advice for you b/c I think what I just said was pretty useless....sorry.

Every time i make white cake, i only use the whites. I've never had a problem with it being moist! I prefer it that way!

HTH.

The WASC cake recipe uses 2 cake mixes (8 egg whites) and yields 14 cups of batter:

P.S. You can also use meringue powder (it's not just for frosting). icon_smile.gif
