I love this with a white or french vanilla mix, but not with chocolate. While it tasted good, the texture was off for me.

I was really unsure about this recipe when the woman who made my wedding cake showed it to me but I remember how good my cake was and decited to take it for a test run and omg I couldnt be happier, this is seriously the only recipe I will use when it comes to white cake, I am trying it today with a chocolate cake just as a test run for a German Chocolate Cake I will be making next month to see if its suitable to use, Will post an update

K update as promised, I made the recipe using chocolate cake and I hate to say it but it was awful, no flavor and just totally off, I still love the vanilla and keep boxes of cake mix in my pantry just to make this cake last min.

I absolutely LOVE this cake recipe. It is my go-to recipe and has NEVER failed me. I've made it with white, coconut, pineapple, and butter box mixes and all have turned out delicious. Thank you!!

Does this recipe still work the same with the smaller boxes that the cake mixes have now?
