White Almond Sour Cream Cake....omg!
Decorating By karenm0712 Updated 9 Mar 2007 , 2:21am by jamiesue

I tried this cake last wek and I really do like it! I used pure vanilla extract though; it will not change the color of the cake, but tastes soooo much better, and just a little almond extract. It tasted alomst like angel food cake! I call it Angel Food cake with all the guilt!



You all have me very curious and drooling from the mouth about this cake. Can't wait to try it. I have a girl scout cake auction Feb. 12th and like to do different things. This years theme is "use your imagination".
I can't wait.

I had Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge mix in the house so I tried it with that. I followed the directions for the wasc, I didn't know there were variations on it It was so good!!! I had some buttercream in the freezer and mixed in some cocoa and raspberry preserves, they were gone in minutes. I will definitely be making this again.


When I did mine I just did the 6 whole eggs and it still looked white. So I don't know your answer


okay guys...i need a little help. i have been going over this post over and over and am trying to figure out how to make this cake with yellow cake mix. how many eggs? i hope someone can help..... my step daughter is turning 7 this weekend and i would love to try it.
thanks!

If you are using just the half recipe with one cake mix. It is 3 whole eggs. I hope this helps.


Houston we have a problem: I've made the WASC cake three times now. The first time it came out great, moist and delicious. The second and third times it came out dry. Has anyone added pudding to the mix? If so, how did it affect the final result?

Glad to see ya'll like my recipe. Back about 5 or 6 years ago, I tried out a boatload of cake recipes one Summer trying to find a great white cake recipe. Some where scratch, others were doctored mixes. What I was looking for was a recipe that had nice flavor, that I could bake with consistent results every time, and wasn't insanely difficult to get in the oven. At the time, I didn't even own a stand mixer and I just wasn't going to stand there whipping enough egg whites to make 350 servings of white cake in one day. Anyhow, the result was me combining ingredients & instructions from a couple different recipes to create the WASC.
For the lemon version, I'd stay away from Lemon mixes. Instead, sub 1 cup lemon juice for part of the water, and use a good lemon extract and zest.
The almond extract can very easily be left out without adding extra vanilla. And I always use real vanilla, too. Leftover yolks -- I just toss 'em -- 'cause what are you going to do with 12 dozen egg yolks?!
Happy baking,

Ummm....make pastry cream? Ice cream? Lemon curd? mousse? german chocolate cake frosting? Key lime Pie? I could go on
Stop tossing them - freeze 'em and send them to me!

I just have to tell you all that I am making this cake AGAIN today! I have been craving it all week!!! Thanks CakeBaker for this WONDERFUL recipe!!!!!

But how does it work with a pudding added into the mix? Has anyone tried that?


Hi Amber!
I made the white almond sour cream cake three times and the last two times they were very dry, first time was delicious. I used the DH moist deluxe and everything. I'm just wondering if the pudding would ruin the integrity of the recipe.

I heard from a little bird that DH changed their formula, maybe that's the problem....I'm not experienced with boxed mix though so I am no expert. Try it with another brand!


I used it with 3 different flavors of BC with no problem. And they taste Heavenly OK now I am craving it again. Going to have to try a new flavor tonight now




WOW My last post sounded weird when I reread it I meant Betty Crocker not Buttercream


I just want to tell you that I made the Almond cake for the first time yesterday for a bride coming in for a taste test. I got the order.
That cake is out of this world - thank you so much for sharing the recipe.
If you don't mind my asking, what cake mix did you use? Thanks much!!

Thanks for the post. My computer crashe ans I had lost this recipe.

i made this this weekend..and i used the lorann almond oil and i think i used too much because it tasted awful..i made the choc version as well and it tasted really good except i didnt put any almond in it..next time i'll make sure i only put about 1/4 tsp of the oil in it and hopefully it will be much better
