  1. My niece requested a white cake for her birthday instead of a healthful one, so I obliged and made this one. I followed the directions given and the result was a tough cake. People didn't finish their pieces. Had I thought about the mixing methods I used in making my favorite cakes from years ago, I would have realized the directions listed here were off. I double-checked on the web and found a page that explains how to mix cakes in the correct steps to avoid it tough. I would suggest that anyone making this cake should first check www.baking911.com/howto/mix.htm. The section that explains the 3-2-3-2-3 Cake Mixing Steps is at the bottom of the page. The flavor seemed to be good, so I think that following those steps would solve the problem I and some of the other reviewers had, but as the recipe was written, I had to say I didn't like it.
     
  2. Although I love the taste of this cake, it didn't rise much and it is a bit hard. It is moist, don't get me wrong, and delicious, but not fluffy. I followed the recipe exactly, but don't know why it came out so firm. update: I followed the advice of the previous reviewer who suggested to put part of the flour in first, and then part of the milk, and then more flour, and then more milk, and it worked out just fine. There is a chemical reason for doing it this way and I read the suggested article from the previous reviewer and it worked out wonderfully this time. Love the cake.
     
  3. Made the cake and the flavor was great! It was really dense. Next time I make it I'm going to experiment with sifting the flour or using cake flour. Just want it to be a little more fluffy. Thank you for the recipe though, it was delicious!
     
  4. I really enjoyed this cake, it was moist and a little dense (which I like, not a fluffy fan) the only thing I changed was how the ingrediants were applied. I mixed the drys and alternated them into the creamed sugar mix with the milk in 3 layers as I was mixing, I will be using this recipe from now on!
     
  5. The best of the white cake recipes I have tried so far in my quest to find something approaching a box mix. Dense, but very nice taste. I used just a bit more milk to get the consistency I was looking for.

  1. Made this cake this morning, instead of milk I used International Delight "Almond Joy" coffee creamer. The batter was pure "Almond Joy" flavor, however, after baking it tastes like buttered corn bread - but it's the most wonderfully textured white cake. Obviously the flavor is not due to the recipe, so I give this 5 stars because it was simple and it is a great texture, will make again using plain milk, haha. It rose full in the pan for me also; I alternated flour/milk.
     
  2. This cake is excellent! It is a cake you are to able change the flavor. I was not going to use this recipe because of one complaint, decided to use in spite of, I am so glad I did. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Very easy. I used 3 eggs instead of 2, two sticks of butter, instead 2/3 cup of butter. Ray
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a 30 year old wife, and mother of 3. I have been a stay at home mom for 10 years now, and thank goodness I have been able to. I wouldn't have traded this time for anything in the world. I love to cook, especially bake. What can I say? Desserts are my favorites! I have some great recipes that I am required to make for each and every holiday that my family spends together. No ifs ands or buts about it...if I don't bring my candy, I may as well stay home! Being an at home mom gave me lots of time to try new recipes and alter those that could be good, with just a little of this and a splash of that. I'm getting ready to undertake an even bigger task than staying home with my children, if there is such a thing, by going to college to become an elementary school teacher. My major will be teaching, grades 1-6, but I'm also going to minor in special education, or working with children with disabilities. This is something I have wanted to do since 3rd grade, and I'm finally going to have my chance. I work at the school in my youngest daughters' classroom, and I have had the chance to work with children from all sorts of backgrounds over the years. I can't imagine myself doing anything else at this point in my life. When I graduated from high school, I went to school and got my cosmetologist license, and I will always love doing hair, nails, make up and make overs, but my passion is children. I also love to talk, as you can plainly see if you are reading this. Well, I hope you are enjoying this site and make sure you try some of the recipes here. They have something for everyone and every need. Don't be scared to try it, you just might like it!
