How do I get my white cake mix cakes really white? I already use egg whites. They still are a light yellow. Do I use white food coloring and put in mix?
It's probably from the pudding they put in it.
Why do you need it to be bright white? White cake, even when made from scratch isn't blinding white. If it's not completely yellow, then I doubt your customers would complain. (sorry, don't mean to be a crumudgeon).
I guess I'm so used to mine being a little yellow because I use an egg yolk or two in there that when I go straight egg whites it looks super white to me. It also has a different consistency.
Just curious, is the white-factor your personal preference or did a customer say something? Most cake cusotmers, who also use cake mixes, will think the standard white cake mix is white. I even add an egg yolk or two and with that extra coloring, no one has ever complained or even mentioned it.
I'm not sure who to credit however I did read on here that you can add a tiny amount of violet food coloring to your batter for an even whiter cake. Kind of like older ladies' "bluing" their hair.
I heard that too ~ never tried it though.
Wilton's make a White White lightner that I use if I need White butter cream it woul probably work for that also. Do you use butter in your cake mix, that could be the problem?
