I got this white velvet cake recipe from a friend who also does cakes. I know it’s from a box, but it is so good. Loads of people have tried this cake, and I have had great response. One reader who commented on Facebook sent me a picture of a wonderful Mickey Mouse cake for her son, and had this to say, “I made my son’s birthday cake with your white velvet cake recipe layered with mocha cake, oh my goodness the white velvet is hands down the best white cake I have ever had! Thanks for the recipe!” You will be glad you tried it too.
I sometimes double the recipe, and the batter half way fills 2 – 8×2″ pans and 2 – 10×2″ pans. That gives me a great 2 tiered cake with enough cake top to level off.
Ingredients:
1 box white cake mix
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1/8 tsp salt
1 1/3 cups water
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla
Mix the water,eggs, sour cream, and vanilla with paddle attachment then add the other four ingredients. Beat slowly for 30 seconds and then on high for 2 minutes. Makes about 7 1/2 cups batter to fill two full 8″ rounds.
Bake as directed by box instructions.
So there is no oil or butter in this cake
Correct! The sour cream adds some of that moisture in. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed! I hope you enjoy it!
Hi is the cake white? Just wondering because the recipe calls for whole eggs not egg whites? Thank u
Yes, it is white in color. The eggs don’t seem to impact that. I hope you enjoy it. Sorry it took so long to get back. I’ve been out of town.
i found instead of just adding 1 cup flour use 1 cup cake flour.. oh my what a differnce..
Ooo – I’ll need to try that. Thank so much for that idea.
