So, I just finished baking a wasc for my uncles birthday in two days. Although, it seems I forgot the 2 Tablespoons of oil (I halfed the recipe). The cake seems fine, do you really think it will matter???? I REALLY DO NOT want to bake another cake, plus I used the last of my sour cream.

THANKS!!!

If it was my cake, I'd say it was just fine. (I'm a hobby baker.) People that can't tolerate fats are always substituting other ingredients like applesauce for the oil.

I forgot once and the cake was...dry by the time I was done. If it is yours, I would jsut leave it and serve with ice cream or soak with simple syrup. I was dissapointed with the one I made, it was for a baby shower and I wish I had rebaked. I don't like when I have to explain why my cake is dry. Especially when I knew better.

I have never tried simple syrup, I will do that. I did plan on filling the cake with home made strawberry filling. Do you think if I tort it and put an extra layer of stawberry it might be ok?

kakeladi's Original WASC cake doesn't use oil and it turns out fine:

HTH

I have forgotten the oil before (many times) and it turned out just fine. I honestly could not tell the difference.

I forgot the oil, once, and it was okay. But the cake was suppose to be served in 2 days so to be sure it will stay moist I brushed the torted layers with simple syrup.

THANKS LADIES!!!! I decided to go ahead and use the cake but I took your advice and brushed with simple syrup. It was GREAT!!!! So glad I didn't rebake.

I omit the oil from the WASC recipe on purpose.
