I need to make two 12×18 chocolate cakes (for a black forest cake) and was wondering how you would suggest I adjust the durable cake recipe above. Would I double it? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I have a quick question regarding buttercream icing.
What is the ratio of shortening to sugar?
The reason is I have a 6 qt. mixer. The mixture doesn't reach the top and I'm getting air bubbles throughout.
I thought of adding one more cup of shortening and one more pound of sugar.
Does this sound right to you?

I am interested in knowing what problems folks are having with DH.

I know this post is old, but someone just mentioned it and I noticed something. Your recipe of Kathy's Cream cheese has 6 oz of cream cheese. The Cake central post says she uses 16 oz. Which do you use? I can only assume one is a typo since there is such a big difference. Thanks!

I was looking at the one on CC. Thanks.

WASC (white almond sour cream) by Rebecca Sutterby:

1 box mix (does not work well with DH since they changed their formula)
one cup sugar
one cup flour
1 1/3 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp almond if desired
3 whole eggs or 4 whites
one cup sour cream
2 tbs oil

*you can make this into any flavor by starting with flavored mix, and adjust extracts as desired . Bake at 325.

It is also very heavy and sorta dips in the middle. Anyone else have this? I wonder if it is a little too thick?

They are wonderful. My question is, what kind of pans do you use? I didn't see it listed. It's late, so I probably missed it. I'll go back and re-read your list of favs. Thanks Sharon!

One question for the Buttercream Icing recipe, what is the powdered coffee creamer to water ratio and is there a particular brand you like better?
Thanks,
Kathy Savage

Love your work I aspire to your expertise. Having said that my cake carving recipe is lacking the professional results I desire. I have tried the durable cake recipe to no avail was too moist to support the fondant it collapsed before I could decorate and tier it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Does the DH exclusion apply to both recipes?
