Cake, so, I started working on trying to take the best of those two recipes while making thecake decidedly white and perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, and yep, even weddings, if youdlike.
My son declared this white cake recipe as perfect while the Mister said, Now, thats cake.
Umm, from him, thats a good thing. I think.
My brother-in-law called me to tell me that this was to be his birthday cake every single yearuntil the year he dies. We had a good laugh at that one, but I have to remember each June tomake sure not to make him another version of cake on his birthday from this point forward.Thats pressure, because the older I get, the less I seem to remember. Heh.
My white cake recipe is a sturdy recipe. Tender, yet moist and holds together well from coolingto frosting to slicing and serving. It just works.
While many white cake recipes use only egg whites, I decided (after lots and lots of trying, mindyou) that I preferred the flavor that the whole egg lends to the cake. While the cake isnt starkwhite, it is still white.
Make sense?

I used my Fluffy White Buttercream frosting, which I doubled, when I frosted the cake, but youcan really use whatever frosting is your favorite on this cake. Strawberry Buttercream Frosting,Cream Cheese Frosting, Espresso Chocolate Buttercream Frosting? Any would be fabulous!
So, the next time you need a white cake recipe, give this one a try. I think youll love it!
Heres my White Cake Recipe. My family calls it the best. Ever.

Heres to good cake! Love ya bunches!Robyn xo
Update: Due to varying results with the cake rising, I have updated the recipe to increase theamount of baking powder. As with any recipe using baking powder, youll want to make sure itis fresh and double acting. Additionally, Ive changed the method of how the cake is beaten(step 3) after eggs have been added to the cake as some were having issues with a crustforming on the outside of the cake. This was due to beating the cake batter on high speedbefore baking which in turned caused a meringue type crust to form on the outside of thecake.

Hi Miranda,Im so glad you loved the taste of the cake. I hate that you had problems with it. Letssee if we can figure out what could have happened. Here are a couple of questions:do you live at a high altitude, if so did you make any adjustments for the altitudewhere you live? what is the age of your baking powder, is it fresh (like within the lastcouple of months)? Lets start with these two and work from there.

Hi Bev,Im sorry it didnt rise for you! You might want to try using cake flour in place of the all-purpose as the all-purpose flour that I use is a southern all-purpose flour made of softwinter wheat, which does make it a finer, lighter flour. Please let me know how thatworks for you and you are always welcome to email me, if youd like as well. xo

Hi there, I am a pastry chef and have lots of knowledge of cakes, and why they do thefunny things that they do. Let me start of by saying this cake is delicious, moist and fluffy!This is thanks to the seemingly large amount of sugar and fats, so do not reduce theamounts or make substitutions! If youre that concerned about the healthiness of this cake,you should probably just avoid it.
This cake does not rise much, but that does not negatively affect its fluffiness. I followedthe directions exactly, except for one very important step which I believe is why my cake isso fluffy inside and did not sink. Cream your butter, shortening and sugar altogether untilvery white and fluffy (about 4 minutes). After that, follow the instructions to a T. If youoverbeat after adding the eggs, they will produce a tougher cake. Take extra care whilerotating pans as to not deflate the cakes, and resist the urge to open your oven door topeek except when you need to rotate.This cake does form a bit of a crust on top from the high egg and sugar content, whichmakes it more difficult to tell when it is done. Your best hint is your nose. If you can smellcake, then check it! If its not jiggly, take it out and scoop a little bit out of the middle to seeif its done (youre gonna cover it with frosting anyway). Dont trust the toothpick-test!
Sorry for writing a novel, I just know how hard it is to make a great white cake and thisrecipe is probably the best Ive had yet, so it made me sad to see how many people weredisappointed by it due to their lack of pastry knowledge and proper method.

Thanks for the recipe. I need to make a cake for a decoratingclass I am taking. So I asked my husband what kind of a cake Ishould make and he said a White fluffy cake. The only one I havemade is angel food cake. I checked the website and found yours.
I just took out of the oven. It came out beautiful. Nice and golden, no crust on the sides,did not sink in the middles. It feels fluffy because when I touch in the middle it bounces. Iam so happy. Thank you so much. I havent tasted it yet, but the batter taste good so I amassuming it will taste good. Now I will try to find a filling that is good for the middle. I amthinking of a glaze with fresh strawberries. Not sure never done it. Thank you again itturned out great. One thing that I did was I put in the oven one at a time. I used a 29pan. I only did 2 and the rest I saved for tomorrow. dont know if it will be good but will tryit on some cake pops. Thanks again

Hi Robyn!Does it matter if the 9 inch cake pans are 1 inch or 2 inches on the sides? Mine are only 1inch and Im not sure if the recipe is a lot of batter that it could swell over the top of thepans when cooked? Thoughts?
Thank you.
