Can't wait to try this! I've seen so many posts about WASC and had no clue, but it's obviously popular! Thanks for the break down on the pan size combos, very helpful!

Can you easily 1/2 the recipe without any problems.
Barb1959 9/25/09 at 4:48pm
Sorry, second question. Do you know if you can use the powered egg whites instead of fresh.

I tried this recipe in half yesterday in two 8 " rounds and it came out horrible. Didnt rise at all, was very heavy. Any suggestions?

I really liked this cake, it turned out very moist and excellent. On a side note, the full recipe did not fit in my 5 quart Kitchenaid mixing bowl and I had to take it out and mix it with a hand mixer. Oh well.

Really? It worked in my 5 qrt. A little tight, but it did it!

........any substitutes for sour cream, cream cheese or buttermilk?....... Some have used yogurt in place of the sour cream. Check out my *original* WASC recipe.......http://cakecentral.com/recipes/7445/the-original-wasc-cake-recipe

I absolutely love this cake, I use buttermilk instead of water when I do it, comes out super moist!
nadia0411 11/7/09 at 5:29am
it was moist and firm, v nice taste but i have two issues, it was very sweet and i want to make it from scratch, any ideas?

Made this tonight and have two comments... There wasn't a cooking time listed so I had to figure it out. Second, I used a 12X18 sheet pan only to find half the batter filled ONE pan. Therefore, the recipe as written is for TWO SHEET CAKES. I used commercial sheet pans and baked each at 325 for exactly 39 minutes. Hopefully the cake will live up to its reputation and but worth the effort of figuring out the logistics.

okay the first time i tried it came out well the taste is very good but now everytime i try to do it its either undercooked or overcooked help i really like it does anyone have this recipe from scratch
