Description
This cake tastes like a boxed white cake mix only better, it has never failed me yet, it is a recipe that i use over and over again for the *perfect* white cake, and so easy to make too! Really anything can be addded to this cake, tiny chocolate chips, nuts, dried fruit, add in some food colouring for a pastel coloured cake with matching frosting, this makes a wonderful birthday cake!———
* note* as one reviewer stated they omitted the salt, omitting the salt will change the texture of this cake completely, so please do *not* omit, using butter-flavor crisco is acceptable but will alter the taste somewhat but not the texture 😉
