I fell inlove with cake decorating!! I started my business with cake box mixes and added ingredients to that! Now after being in business for about a year and a half, I think its time to start scratch baking! Only problem is, I have a lot of good scratch recipes that work well...except a yellow/vanilla cake and a white cake! For the life of me and cant get one that doesnt have corn bread consistancy, or is overly sweet, or not enough flavor! The last recipe I tried was the "silver white cake recipe" from this website! Although it had great flavor my consistancy was that of cornbread! What am I doing wrong? Im feeling defeated because nothing beats that white boxed cake mix! Please help with any suggestions or base recipes that even a newbie can figure out! Thank you!
Oh and last thing...How many of you use boxed cake mixes?! And do your customers know?>
THanks!!
I have been searching for the perfect for the perfect white/yellow/butter/vanilla cake recipe too. I've made lots! I tried scratch SF recipe

So far it's my favourite!!! After two days its soooo Yummyy!! And very moist. She has a few options with ingredients. I made it again yesterday and I'm waiting until tomorrow to taste it. This time I made it with the full cream milk option (and again butter and egg whites like last time). I think with the buttermilk it has a funny tang, which I thought at first was the egg whites. Although after two days most of the tang had disappeared. It rises beautifully and doesn't sink like other recipes. I wouldn't say its a really white cake but if you use shortening (one of the alternatives) it might help.
