Kakeladi  posted  in comment #20 above.  With A link to her Cake Central Recipe.

I read all of her hints and tips, and printed them out.

Her instructions labeled #4  *NOTES:  *ANY* cake flavor can be used.  So I improvised. I used Yellow mix, whole eggs, one drop of Golden gel coloring, vanilla & butter extracts.  Can’t wait to put some Chocolate Ganache Icing on top.

 

BatterUpCake I just finished baking my second batch of WASC cupcakes cake today.  I used the recipe that you posted the link to at food.com in comment #18 above. In  This one I used a White mix, egg whites, real double vanilla & almond extracts.

Heavenly, simply heavenly.  Even with the real vanilla it had a nice white color, a mild aroma, very soft tender texture, moist sponge, and not-so-sweet.  Will put a simple Vanilla Swiss Buttercream Icing on these.

 

Adapt, Overcome, Improvise, and don't be afraid of making mistakes. Just don't make the same one again.

You can't get to home plate and score, without taking your feet off of first base.

true...you definitely can use any flavor mix,,,my favorite is the Dreamsicle using orange mix, orange soda. vanilla coffee creamer and orange extract

BatterUpCake, You must already know this, along with all of the other "old time WASC" recipe users here on CakeCentral, but it is just the best marriage of scratch and box ever.  I don't even care for cake that much, certainly not unfrosted cake!

Yet I just walked by the plate of unfrosted White cupcakes made from  the recipe that you recommended (food.com). It smelled so nice that I picked one up and bit into it.   and it is spectacular WITHOUT ICING!

 

What is WASC?  It is Wonderful As Simply Canbe. (I cheated a little right there)

thry it with raspberry filling. I use Smuckers

Hi I need help I read that you should not use the cake mix that has the pudding in the mix for the WASC recipe but all the bettycrocker mix and the phillbury has pudding in the mix  What should I do?

A

You can use them but if you just plain ol' don't want to, use Duncan Hines.

Thank you very much that's the only one in the stores here with out pudding

Thank you all for the WASC recipe and for your advice I did the cake with the Duncan hines and it came out so good thanks manddi your tip

AGlad to help :)

............ Kakeladi's recipe ......uses a white mix...hence the name White Almond Sour Cream....but I use all flavors of mixes for different variations of the recipe. I was just wondering.........

 

If you read my recipe post completely through you will find I state *ANY!* and every cake mix flavor made can be used.  I think I have tried all of them at one time or another:) 

 

........read that you should not use the cake mix that has the pudding in the mix for the WASC recipe but all the bettycrocker mix and the phillbury has pudding in the mix.........

 

I have almost always used Betty Crocker.  Yes, from time to time I have tried Pillsbury and I think Duncan's too but always go back to my 1st love - dear Ol' Betty :)

I read it, and I'm glad I did.  Your WASC recipe using The Yellow box cake with vanilla & butter extracts was superb.  I got a request for a friends birthday shortly after I baked them. I made a rich dark chocolate frosting for him and he's goinna love, love, love it.

kakeladi Rocks !!!

Kakeladi- what happens if I use a box with pudding in the mix. Accidentally bought it and don't want to go back to the store!

There's a variation for a Peanut Butter WASC cake on the above link, I haven't tried it but I've read these are very popular. Variations of K's original recipe, I think that's what she was talking about.

I definitely want to try this one. Been trying to find and excuse to make one. Problem is when I have peanut butter in the house it calls my name and I eat it by the spoonful. My cake store has peanut butter candy melts on clearance, but it just doesn't sound as good.

I love this WASC recipe did it yesterday and it came out so perfect can I use buttermilk instead of the sour cream? I like sour cream but would like deferent options

A

You can use different flavored yogurt cups.

Is the sour cream or the yogurt that make's it so nice and sponge I did the recipe from cake central came out really good but I saw one WASC recipe without the cake mix have you ever done it ? and dose it has the same sponginess thank you manddi

AI'm assuming you're talking about the scratch wasc recipe; I can't answer your question as I've yet to try it.

yes it is...have not tried it with yogurt

AI do a version of a doctored up box cake. I haven't tried the true wasc cake so can't say how minde stacks up against that but mine is pretty good never the less. Here you go if you care to try it. 1 box cake mix 1 box instant pudding 4 whole eggs 1/4 cup oil 1cup sour cream 1/4 cup water 2 capsfull vanilla 1 capfull butter extract 1 capfull almond extract.
