Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (15.25 oz) white cake mix - I use Pillsbury White Cake Mix
  • 1 cup (200g) sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups (185 g) all-purpose flour (OR 1 cup of AP flour + 1/2 cup extra cake mix)
  • 1 1/3 cup (360 ml) water
  • 1 tsp. (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) almond extract (or omit the almond and do 2 tsp. of vanilla)
  • 4 egg whites (for true white) or 3 whole eggs
  • 1 cup (8 oz. or 245 g) sour cream
  • 2 Tbsp. (30 ml) vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Mix all dry ingredients by hand using a whisk in a very large mixing bowl. Add the liquid ingredients and beat on low speed for 2-3 minutes, until well combined. Bake at 325° (time depends on the size pans used*). I bake cupcakes for 18 minutes or cakes in 8″ round pan for 35-38 minutes.

Notes

  • You can use only 1 cup of flour and an extra 3 oz. of cake mix if you like
  • This recipe doubles beautifully.
  • Yogurt (plain, Greek or vanilla) can be substituted for the sour cream.
  • If you buy the boxed egg whites, you’ll need 2/3 cup.
