This cake recipe is simple and delicious. It’s my kids’ favorite. It stays moist, easy to work with and is stable enough to cover in fondant.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 Boxes White Cake Mix
  • 2 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 2 2/3 cups Water
  • 1/4 cup Vegetable Oil
  • 4 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Sour Cream (room temp)
  • 6 Large Eggs (room temp)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  2. Prepare pans by lining with parchment paper and spraying sides with Pam baking spray.
  3. Combine all dry ingredients in mixing bowl. I like to run the cake mixes through a sieve to get out all the lumps. Whisk together all the dry ingredients with a wire whisk.
  4. Add the remaining ingredients and mix on medium speed for a couple of minutes.
  5. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 – 60 minutes depending on the size of your pans. Start checking with a toothpick around 40 minutes.
  6. This will make two 6” round cakes and two 8” round cakes that are 2” deep.
