Does anyone know if I can make a WASC cake but substitute the white cake mix with a butter recipe golden (DH)?

yes, you can, use kakeladi's original wasc recipe.. it was on the forum last night.. she posted it and gave great instrucitons. hth

Dunan Hines have always given me grief w/ the WASC recipe---sinking in the center & being very "wet". If you have to use them, try at least using 1/2 BC & 1/2 Duncan Hines. I would go as far as adding 1/4-1/2 tsp baking powder too (for 1/2 the recipe)

If I dont use ducan Hines, which one would you recomend?

I've had best results with Betty Crocker mixes, then Pillsbury, then Duncan Hines as a last resort.

There have been quite a few people that say the butter mixes tend to lend a more "rubbery" texture. You might try a Fr. Vanilla mix and add butter flavor

i am making the WASC original posted in april and noticed no oil in recipe. Is this a mistype or really no oil???

Thats great to hear because my cake is in the oven as I type with NO oil.

I've discovered (for 1/2 recipe) if I use 1/2 BC & 1/2 DH & add an extra egg that it turns out great. You might try that if you have problems
