WASC Cake
So what is a WASC cake? It is a White Almond Sour Cream cake that is semi-homemade. (Meaning there is a box mix involved!) Bakers love this recipe because it tastes so good, but also holds up very well to decorating and fondant. Not to mention that it is SO open to variation!How to Make Box Mix Taste Like a Wedding Cake
Making a box mix taste homemade is pretty easy, there are just a few simple ingredients that make it perfect. Be sure to ONLY follow the recipe below when making the cake, do not add the ingredients suggested on the box! Start by sifting the dry ingredients, then introducing the wet. To ensure that you have success, be sure to use ROOM TEMPERATURE ingredients! This will allow proper incorporation of all the ingredients.WASC Recipe
whipped vanilla buttercream recipe #18 tip Russian tip – rose design pastry bagsHow to Decorate White Almond Sour Cream Cake
Prepare WASC cake recipe below and allow to cool. Prepare buttercream. (follow the instructions for WHITE buttercream!) Set one layer of cooled white cake on the cake stand. Cover with 1/2 cup of buttercream. Place other layer on top. Cover cake in a thin crumb coat. Divide remaining buttercream between pastry bags fitted with #18 and Russian tip.For the top, simple pipe out the roses with the Russian tip. I started at the outer edge and moved in towards the center of the cake. I tried to pull up and “out” as I released pressure from the piping bag so that the outer roses are leaning out a bit instead of straight up and down.
PRO TIPS for WASC Cake
I used egg whites and clear vanilla extract to ensure that my cake would be as white as possible. I also used room temperature ingredients and did not over-mix the batter. Allow the cake to cool before decorating! I often pop it into the freezer which helps to minimize crumbs.Prep Time: 10 minutes
