Recipe Spotlight: World Famous WASC by Rebecca Sutterby

Hi there!

As the title states, this recipe needs no introduction! This recipe is world famous. Probably the most common doctored recipe out there.

This makes a super moist cake with good density. Not quite as dense as pound cake but a tight crumb. This cake can be a bit soft and “wet” and might form a crystallized sugar “shell” on the top when baking; that is normal. This will also extend the volume vs a regular box recipe. Good for dessert cakes, cupcakes, carving, buttercream or fondant cakes. Makes great cake balls with no binder needed. Seriously a wonderful recipe. (The carrot cake version is to die for.)

Recipe:

Ingredients

•     1 box cake mix 15.25 ounces
•     1 cup all purpose flour
•     1 cup granulated sugar
•     1-1/8 cup water
•     1 cup sour cream
•     1 tsp. clear vanilla flavoring
•     1 tsp. clear almond flavoring
•     2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
•     4 large egg whites or 3 whole eggs

Directions

1. Combine dry ingredients in mixer bowl and mix well with whip attachment. Add remaining ingredients and mix with beater attachment on speed 1 – 2 until smooth and incorporated. Do not overmix.

2. Pour into prepared pans and bake at 325 until done. Baking times will vary, but a 10 inch round cake will take approx. 60 to 65 minutes.

3. You can make this into any flavor by starting with a flavored cake mix, and adjust the flavorings as desired. May be doubled.

— NOTE: The water is reduced to 1 1/8 cup per mix for the now smaller 15 oz cake mixes. — I do not recommend Pillsbury for this recipe.

— NOTE: You can create almost any flavor cake with this recipe by starting with that flavored cake mix and changing the additional flavorings.

 

Let me know if you use this recipe!

Happy Baking!!
