White

Now I want cake! Though I confess my favorite cake is white cake with chocolate fudge frosting! Not yellow cake--WHITE CAKE!

It's like a ghost cake.

Does white taste any different than yellow?

At the end of the day, I will always be a fan of box cakes.

What I really miss are the box frostings. I find the canned stuff to be inedible, so even if I bake a cake from a mix, I make my frosting from scratch.

And the boxed frosting I miss most is the coconut-pecan for German Chocolate Cake.

Yeah, it's rare to see box frosting mixes---except for the little Jiffy mix frosting boxes.

Coconut-pecan frosting and German Chocolate Cake YUM!!!!

How do you make frosting from a box?

I agree the canned stuff is gross. Once I made buttercream from scratch, there was no going back.

It was a just add water kind of a thing. Powdered sugar, flavoring, a type of fat I suppose. Some, you had to add butter or margarine. The German Chocolate Cake frosting mix my mom used had to be cooked, but the rest you whipped with the electric mixer.

I think it tastes different. It might be all in my head though? But I really do think that it tastes different. It irks me that it's RARE to find a white cake with chocolate fudge frosting in bakery sections of grocery stores. It's always YELLOW with chocolate fudge frosting! I WANT WHITE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FUDGE FROSTING DAMMIT! uh, sorry, I'm quite passionate about my white cake with chocolate fudge frosting! :)

It will still stain.

For some reason this reminds me of the cover of the Herb Alpert and the Tiajuana Brass album cover called "Whipped Cream" from the sixties. Does anyone have a screen shot of that? Considered quite racy at the time! My brothers would spend hours staring at it...

Ah, yes. Whipped Cream and Other Delights.

That cake is blindingly white.

I like white cake and I def think it has a different taste than yellow! It also makes a nice base if you want to mix it up with your own flavors (I used it to simplify these super complicated orange cardamom cupcakes by just adding a bit of juice, orange flower water and cardamom).
