Decorating By karenm0712 Updated 9 Mar 2007 , 2:21am by jamiesue

I am in heaven! I just made a couple of cupcakes with the extra batter that I had and I just ate one....OMG, OMG....this is the best darn cake! I can't even imagine what it would tast like with a raspberry filling.
Sorry, I just had to share! I am going to go eat another one....so much for this watching what I eat promise.


Gets even better with the raspberry filling! I love it with a whipped cream/raspberry filling--to die for! I just got a recipe from Tastefully Simple for a raspberry mousse that I am dying to try with it. The recipe is just 12 oz. of coolwhip, 8 oz. of softened cream cheese and the Tastefully simple Raspberry Divine sauce (how ever much you want to add) and just whip it all together. It is soooooo yummy it would make a perfect filling!



I love that recipe too! It's fantastic. : )

Where did you get the recipe for the cake mix. I would love to have it. Could you pm me the recipe for it. I would really appreciate it. Thanks!!




I just made it for the first time today and just used half the recipe. I could not stop eating it either....

Here is the recipe that I used. I think that I was "googling" and found this but I am sure that the same recipe is on CC as well.
White Almond Wedding Cake
(also known as White Almond Sour Cream Cake)
2 (18 ounce) boxes white cake mix
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 2/3 cups water
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons real vanilla
2 teaspoons almond extract
2 cups sour cream
8 large egg whites, room temperature
1. Place all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir together with a wire whisk.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
3. Pour into greased and floured cake pans, filling each pan about half full.
4. Lightly tap cake pans on counter to bring air bubbles to top.
5. Cut through batter with a toothpick or tip of a knife to break large bubbles.
6. Bake in preheated 325° F oven until cake tests done.
7. Baking time varies according to the size and depth of pans being used.
8. I used Wilton's Bake Even Strips on my cake pans to ensure a level-topped cake which required absolutely no trimming-- I highly recommend these.
9. This recipe makes: One 14" round and one 6" round or One 16" round or One 12" round and one 10" round or One 12 X 18" sheet cake or One 12" round and one 8" round and one 6" round Two 9" squares.
10. Half the recipe makes: Two 8" rounds or Two 6" rounds and 6 cupcakes.
11. These cake size yeilds are approximate, and can vary widely according to the depth of the pans being used.
12. As a general rule, fill your pans about half-full of batter or use the number of cups of batter specified by the cake pan manufacturer.
13. For chocolate cake: use chocolate mixes and substitute 6 whole eggs for the egg whites.



This recipe is FANTASTIC with raspberry filling! It's my favorite.
I have not tried it with yellow cake, but I'm sure you could. The chocolate variation calls for 6 whole eggs instead of 8 egg whites - you could probably do the same thing with the yellow cake.

Try it with lemon curd filling and a lemon buttercream......it's verrrrrrry good!!



I have made this cake twice now - first time with chocolate cream cheese icing and filling. Yesterday with strawberry filling and whipped icing. Both times it was just delicious!! The cake comes out sooo moist. I'll definitely have to try the chocolate version - maybe with a cherry filling... hmmmmm

errr... can someone tell me what is white cake mix and yellow cake mix? I dont think I have seen it on the shelves here... and what can I use to substitute. The recipe sure sounds fab.
I believe that the reference is to the box cake mixes such as Duncan Hines or Pillsbury, Betty Crocker, etc. Where are you from?


This recipe is FANTASTIC!! Everyone raves about it (making me look like a true cake hero!) I tweak it a tad more, but I like the variations I've heard here. Also, I did notice that when I bake it in Wilton pans, it browns considerably more, but when I bake it in MagicLine pans it gets a very light golden color rather than brown.


Sounds wonderful my grandfather's 80th birthday is next Tuesday and I was looking for a fabulous recipe for his special day. Thanks!!

I'm wondering what variations of this cake y'all have done -- I've heard using a yellow box mix with whole eggs (how many?) What other variations are there?

I use this also.. all variations are good. I have done it with all kinds of mixes also. There is a lemon variation and a strawberry one that I know of.. I am sure there is more I am not thinking of. Love it!

Where can I access those versions??????

Ok the cupcakes I have to do for tomorrow are going to be my experiment batch This recipe sounds so AWESOME. I can't wait to try it. Off to the store I go to get sour cream.
