Ingredient Notes
One boxed cake mix – While any brand will do, Duncan Hines Super Moist was preferred in the original recipe. Flour Sugar Salt Egg whites – This recipe calls for egg whites to keep the cake white. If you don’t care about the color, or you’re making a different flavor, use two whole eggs instead. Water Vegetable Oil Sour cream – Use full fat sour cream for best results. Vanilla extract – If you are making a true white cake, consider getting clear vanilla from a cake supply store. If you don’t mind the color, regular vanilla works great. Almond extract – Almond extract elevates the flavor of white cake. It is also great in chocolate. If experimenting with other flavors, feel free to replace the almond with something else or leave it out completely.
How to Make Easy White Cake
One thing I really like is that you get really uniform raised tops on them. Perfectly smooth and round. Try our favorite White Vanilla Frosting or this amazing Chocolate one.
