Is there any way to get a regular WASC to rise as much as a chocolate WASC does?

i have been looking for a recipe for a chocolate WASC cake . do you have one you would like to share

Don't know if this will do it for you...I don't use any oil...Butter! after all, its cake! I whip the butter and add the sugar (extender part) then eggs...I put a small amount of apple sauce (maybe 1/2 of single portion and 1/3 box of pudding.) The come out fairly close in size.

I made a pool cake last week...trying to load now but the pictures came out awful. It was 1/2 WASC & 1/2 Chocolate WASC butted together.

you can replace some of the liquid with club soda. That will help it rise.

......any way to get a regular WASC to rise as much as a chocolate WASC does?.....
Using my *original* recipe it does. Are you putting enough batter in the pan to begin with? What size pan; how much batter used?

.........been looking for a recipe for a chocolate WASC cake .............

Just use the *original* recipe using a chocolate cake mix!

This is the chocolate WASC I use. I use the same amount of batter. I made some lemonade cupcakes with a regular WASC and used 1/4 cup of batter and then today I made the chocolate WASC and I used 1/4 cup and the chocolate ones got bigger.

Chocolate WASC (macsmom's method ) - MacsMom
2 dark chocolate cake mixes
2 c cake flour (gives it a lighter crumb)
2 1/4 c sugar (extra sugar for moistness)
1/3 c cocoa powder
3/4 t salt (less salt because of the cocoa powder)
2 pkg chocolate fudge pudding mixes
8 egg whites or 6 whole eggs
2 c sour cream
2 c coffee
1 c chocolate milk (extra liquid because chocolate mixes tend to be thick)
1/3 c oil
2 t Nielsen Massey's chocolate extract
2 t vanilla or butter extract

Thanks for the ideas.

Awatterson,
This recipe sounds wonderful, but I was interested in some feedback from someone who's made it. It sounds like it is moist, right? How about the degree of chocolate flavor? I like a rich, dark chocolate - can you rate how chocolately this is? Thanks.

That is the same chocolate WASC recipe I use, and it is very rich and very moist! Everyone loves my chocolate cake (including myself, and I don't usually like chocolate cake)!

I also use kakeladi's original WASC but I don't think I've paid attention to whether or not it rises the same.

I love both the WASC as well as kakeladi's original. I use kakeladi's more often due to not wasting the eggs. I have tried the choc. one listed in another recipe on this site and it didn't taste like choc. goodness like the above recipes taste of vanilla goodness. Mac's Mom's recipe seems to use SO many ingredients. Does choc. cake require THAT many more ingredients? I will be willing to try it, but hate to waste the ingredients if it's just an okay choc. cake. Also, not sure where to get choc. extract.
"I" would appreciate a tried and true recipe as well.
If choc. cake requires more liquid, would just substituting choc. cake boxes to kakeladi's recipe do it?
I know I should try both, but hate to use so many ingredients when I only need one cake right now.
Thank you, and sorry this was so long!

I would just try the original WASC version by kakeladi and just use the chocolate mix and instead of 1 cup of water, use 1 cup of chocolate milk. I did this for a cake that I did last week and it tasted wonderful. You can also fold in shaved chocolate. Wonderful!

I have also tried the other WASC and I didn't like the fact that it was so gummy. The original has a better crumb to me. JMHO

Less ingredients and a great chocolate flavor!

I ended up getting the chocolate extract from The Spice House.

I just wrote down *kakeladi's* recipe and I can't wait to try it out. It sounds so yummy.

'The Spice House'? Is that local?

It is in Chicago. They are online and you can order the stuff online. I also got some dutched processed cocoa from there for the cake too.

KayMc, I would rate it at a 9. It is super moist and a very good chocolate flavor.

Thank you all very much for your responses!! When making choc. cakes I DO substitute coffee in it.
I now do remember I made WASC cake with choc. cake mixes and it didn't turn out. So now I know to use kakeladi's recipe with it instead. When she first posted her recipe, I tried it and was a big promoter of it as it's so delicious! So now I will try it with the choc. box mixes.
Thank you all again for all your tips!!

............would just substituting choc. cake boxes to kakeladi's recipe do it? ........

So sorry folks I haven't kept up on this thread.
Yes, do just sub choco cake mix (box) in my original recipe.
I do nothing else different.
BUT..........using chocolate milk &/or coffee as the liquid would be a good idea.
I just never did because I didn't have th em on hand.
And I don't leave out the almond flavoring. It inhances(sp?) the choco flavor
