This is prolly a dumb question...
I have been using the WASC recipe and loving it.. but I was wondering if anyone can confirm that if i wanted to make say a strawberry or chocolate flavor...i would just change out the cake mix flavor/type... and maybe the extract flavors...
Am I right? im just trying to find a good flexible recipe... where the cake if need be is also able to withstand carving and such. cake mixes on their own seem to be too fluffy
I am open to any and all suggestions!
Thanks all!
I always use whole eggs in WASC, not the egg whites (unless I want really white cake)
If I make a chocolate cake, I use a chocolate box mix but I also put in a few tablespoons of baking cocoa.
Yes, add some cocoa if you make chocolate. It makes it tons better.
To make chocolate WASC "pop" - you add strong coffee in place of the liquid. I don't know why it works but it does and it does the cake does not take like coffee.
Yes it does. I always use coffee instead of water.
I recently made a strawberry cake for a wedding cake using the basic WASC cake recipe. I used whole eggs, not just the whites, and.... I added strawberry icing fruits, AND.... I bought a can of strawberry pie filling that I strained the heavy gel away from the big pieces and used the pieces of strawberries in the cake mix!! It was more moist than I had ever imagined! I filled it with a coconut butter cream and covered it with fondant WITH OUT A PROBLEM!!

Just to clarify, in my saying "yes it does" that was my response to coffee making the chocolate "pop". After I read my post it sounded like I was saying "yes it does" taste like coffee She's correct, doesn't taste like coffee at all!

makes sense... To make Chocolate taste more "chocolatey" i always add coffee (instant or brewed to my differ recipes...Anything from actual chocolate candies.... hot cocoa...to yeah even frosting...dont know why i didn't think cake!
nice!!!

PERFECT!!! oooooh I'm so excited... sounds like I might be making a little extra for home 
If you are making a stawberry cake using the WASC recipe don't use a strawberry cake mix. Add strawberry puree using either real strawberries or frozen. The strawberry cake mix really has the artifificial strawberry flavor. I've made both ways and everbody likes it better when I use a yellow or white cake mix instead.
