I almost posted last week because I made my first WASC cake.

People aren't kidding when they say it's the best cake they ever tasted. It was amazing.

I used DH dark chocolate cake mix, and omitted the almond flavoring. It was moist and dense, without being excessively heavy. It torted beautifully and didn't fall apart at all. It also didn't crumb very much. I froze it first, then cut tort layers when it was no longer frozen, but still cold.

Seriously, add me to the list of CC posters who will never make another type of cake. Next on my list to try: Spice, then Lemon.

Does anyone do this (add the sour cream) to scratch made cakes? Just wondering if it works out the same as with a mix. If so, how much...still a cup?

Thanks!

I don't find box mixes all that moist, even DH, so when I was using them I would use the extender recipe that calls for sour cream with DH cake mix. Moist and dense!
