WHITE WEDDING CAKE
www.RecipeGirl.com
1 box white cake mix (I use Duncan Hines Moist)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
¾ tsp salt
1 1/3 cups water
2 Tbs vegetable oil
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream (use regular or light)
4 large egg whites
1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease and flour your desired pans. It’s easiest to get the cake out of the pan if you line them with parchment paper too.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together cake mix, flour, sugar and salt. Add remaining ingredients and beat with hand mixer for 2 minutes, or until well blended.
3. Pour batter into prepared pans. Be sure to fill them 3/4 to 1-inch below the top of the pan. Bake about 35 to 50 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Watch closely- check after 35 minutes and then every 5 minutes until they test done. Time will vary based on which pans you choose to use.
Yield: Enough for a three layer 9-inch cake
Cooking Tips
*Add a tsp. of almond extract (in addition to the vanilla) if you wish to have a different flavor.
**You can also use this mix to make cupcakes. Pour into cupcake liners and bake for about 18 minutes. It will make about 36 cupcakes.
***The frosting used in the picture above was the Wedding Cake Buttercream.

I used this recipe to make cupcakes plus a small 6-inch two-layer cake for a wedding client. The cake was really easy to work with and was quite delicious. I’m not one to ever use boxed cake mixes, but the added ingredients changed the flavor and made it very good, very moist.

I love the look of this cake. How do you get the stucco rough frosted look and what tip is used for the edge?

Wendy- the stucco look was the result of a long flat spatula- smoothing out the frosting to make as flat as possible, and the edging was done w/ a star tip.

Lori, you’ve made my day! I had been browsing the internet for a cake for my Mother’s 80th birthday party and I think this will work. I too am opposed to box cake but this is the exception. I will have to decorate differently but your cake recipe is perfect!
