I finally found a white cake recipe that I like to make and holds up well for decorating. The only thing I changed was add 1/2 cup of the sugar to the egg whites and whipped them into meringue. Also, I just folded the meringue into the batter.

This cake was awesome! I made it for my son's birthday party and it was a hit. Turned out light and fluffy. I froze the 9"x13" cake to cut into a puppy shape and it was very easy to work with. Frosted with Rick's Special Buttercream Frosting on allrecipes and several people said this was the BEST cake they've ever had.

Yes add more milk and I beat the egg whites a little stiffer and it was quite a cake! YUMMY! I used a strawbberry cream filling and the traditional all butter buttercream frosting to finish it off.

This cake turned out better than expected. The only thing I wasn't wild about was the almond flavor - I thought it was a bit strong. I think I will reduce the almond to a 1/2 teaspoon next time. Also, I made this with margarine instead of butter (which doesn't always work) and it turned out great. P.S. - If you don't have a way to sift the flour just reduce the amount to 2 and 1/4 cups. I did that and didn't need to add the extra milk others mentioned. I'm glad I didn't, the milk called for was plenty.

I really loved the flavor of this cake. But I found that it was pretty crumbly - which makes it hard to remove from the pans and to frost. I did add the extra 1/2 cup milk recommended by others - which may have caused the problem.

Nice recipe, it made a very moist white cake. I baked it in a 9X13 inch pan. It's a little bland on its' own, but would be stellar with some sort of filling...lemon or berry maybe. Maybe it was just plain to me because I made a white cake with white icing! I'm going to try this recipe again in the spring or summer with a fruit filling, it's worth keeping!

I don't like cake, but I made this and I loved it. I feel sick because I ate so much. Did add the extra milk and folded in the whites. I did not sift the flour as I could not find my sifter, so I whisked it, and it seemed to help. Was moist and not too heavy at all. This is my new favorite cake recipe!

Wonderful flavor, but not as moist as I had hoped it would be. I wish I would have read the reviews about adding an additional 1/2 cup of milk, I did add a couple of tablespoons of cream because the batter seemed too thick, but that obviously wasn't enough. It has wonderful flavor, but next time I will be adding more milk. I made 24 lemon filled cupcakes, and topped them with "Best Buttercream Frosting" from this site. Heavenly!

This is an awesome white cake!! I didn't have any almond extract so I added 2 tsp almond paste to the recipe. It's perfect. Not too sweet either. I will definitely be making this again!

SIFT the flour then measure it, yes there is a BIG difference if you don't. I too used 1 1/2 C milk (maybe use 1 1/4 c next time), made the meringue first then folded it into the batter and added some pureed strawberries to some of the batter. This gave me 24 cupcakes plus a small round layer. I thought these were pretty good, very moist and delicate but there is a hint of eggyness to them. I topped these with a strawberry cream cheese frosting.

Turned out great, thanks a ton for sharing, I substituted white for brown sugar & used orange zest instead of vanilla & almond. Added a little extra milk as the mixture seemed a bit dry. I used white chocolate as frosting, everyone loved it. Tks

This cake is excellent. I will admit it took me about two months to get it perfect, because at first it had a cornbread texture. After a few small tweeks it is now the moistest cake besides my mothers that I have ever had.

I absolutely love this cake, and everyone keeps raving about it every time I make it. I used the extra 1/2 cup of milk(I use 1%), I use I can't believe it's not butter, and i use 2 tsp of vanilla extract and omit the almond extract. I also followed the advice to make the meringue last and fold it in to the batter rather than beating it in. It really is a heavenly cake! I used the recipe on this site for buttercream frosting and it is a to die-for recipe!

This is a very flavorful cake and goes well paired with a cream cheese frosting. However, perhaps I did something wrong because the cake was not moist at all. When I was mixing it I felt that it was to dry and almost kind of dough like. I agree with the other streviewers it could use an additional 1/2 cup of milk in the recipe. All in all not fabulous but still good.

The almond extract has to go. It was way too stong and everyone commented about it. It was also a little dry. I was pretty disappointed.
