This months cake selection was entirely up to me! I had planned to do the Coconut cake with the custard butter cream, but things got a little stressful for me this week. I had to choose another cake to go with the ingredients I already had in my pantry. A little disappointed about having to choose another cake.
So basically this recipe is a basic white cake that pairs well with any filling. I liked the flavor and texture of the cake, I think adding almond extract would bring it to the next level. I used a whipped topping with a peanut butter chocolate Ganache drizzle. The cake tastes pretty much like box cake mix. Just a slight dryer, I might try adding some oil to the batter to make it a little more moist.
This was also our last recipe from "The Cake Book". Next month we start baking from a new book. Visit my blog next month for the reveal of our new book and first recipe.

I really like white cake! Thanks for your hint of maybe adding a little more oil. The cupcakes are so pretty!
Yes, like Joy said... thanks for the tip... I know I'll be trying this white cake recipe some time so I will add the extra oil you mentioned! Your cupcakes look adorable!
Even if the cakes are dry, they still look really pretty. I like a cake that you can doctor up into anything and pair it with any topping :)
White? really?
Page 134... egg whites only!!! Awesome!
Bookmarked!
They look so professional. Love the sound of the light almond flavoured cake and the peanut butter frosting. Yum :)
It really is white too! Your cupcakes look yummy :)
I love how you've decorated them. I don't have a good white cake recipe in my arsenal, so will keep this one in mind.
What a wonderfully simple cake to end the year with. I too had to choose a different cake than I originally wanted. It's tough, but your end result is still lovely. Congratulations.
