RECIPE FOR WHITE WEDDING CAKE

Traditional White Wedding Cake recipe with a simple white buttercream icing recipe is by far the most requested recipe that comes out of my kitchen.

Easier egg rolls is a close second.  Although the later is requested frozen in bags of 12. Hahaha!

Yes, this one starts with a box mix.  Generally, when I am baking I am totally cooking from scratch.  But this way is the only way I have been able to get even remotely close to the old-fashioned traditional white wedding cake that came from a bakery eons ago.

Starting with a cake mix has a larger margin for error.  I strongly suggest testing this recipe several times in the pans you plan to use for any formal purposes.

I also suggest starting a week or so in advance and freezing the cakes prior to the event.  It may take longer to bake multiple layers than you anticipate.

The other exception my rule of scratch baking is whenever I am feeling a bit nostalgic and want chocolate cake with peanut butter icing.  One like my mom used to make.  It was just a chocolate fudge cake made from the box topped with peanut butter icing she made out of a can of white frosting.  She was making that cake ages before that flavor combination became all the rage.
