I use a cake exender recipe that another CCer had menioned using. It works greater, definitely yields a firmer cake.
It consists of taking 1 box of cake mix, 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk and 1/3 cup of softened butter.

My question is, I like to use the Duncan Hines Classic White, which when made according to the package directions call for 3 large egg "whites".

Do you think that I could use four egg whites and 1 egg instead of four eggs ? I am concerned about using whole eggs and not being able to maintain the pure white cake color ??? icon_cry.gif

The egg whites in the mix are to make the cake as white as possible. If you want white white then add around 5 large egg whites I'd say. Do you have the carton kind? You can just measure them by tablespoons then.

Hey lorrieg see that's what I was kinda of thinking too ... but thought that denisty/firmness depended on using an actual whole egg ... but I do want it to remain white so I am going to try extra egg whites thumbs_up.gif

Any yolk will change the colour. Maybe one whole egg wouldn't make much difference but I think two whites instead should do the trick.

Density shouldn't be a problem compared to a non-extended cake mix. icon_smile.gif
