Sounds decadent. So is heavy cream whipping cream or table cream? Love the idea of white chocolate frosting. That will be my new recipe to try. And I just might have to make a layer cake some time. They look soooooooooooo good.<br /><br />As to Thatcher and the long-suffering cat -- I see that the pup's middle is kind of fuzzy. Must mean he's really tussling with that ol' cat. Who came out the winner?<br /><br />Good luck with all your deadlines, Jan. And thanks for sharing your culinary talents, Carrie.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-15641702642468246062013-07-29T13:34:38.457-04:002013-07-29T13:34:38.457-04:00this reminds me of a romance book I read not too l...this reminds me of a romance book I read not too long ago - ws trying to remember which one - think it was a Linda Howard cowboy one..the heroine needs to hide out and goes to this ranch to be the cook - the hands keep raving about the cook who left so she keeps trying and sees a white cake recipe that says no fail or something like that but it comes out rubbery..so it's her challenge to make it come out right and near the end the old cook comes back and says she only tried that recipe once because it came out so bad...the cooking scenes were the best part of that romance I think! can't remember the title but it's one of the newer ones she's done.<br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-58781274400259199092013-07-29T12:30:26.567-04:002013-07-29T12:30:26.567-04:00IT IS SO STINKIN' HARD TO FIND A GOOD WHITE CA...<b>IT IS SO STINKIN' HARD TO FIND A GOOD WHITE CAKE RECIPE!!!!</b><br /><br />That's how we ended up with so many cake balls last week! If you add enough frosting and raspberry jam or caramel to cake and smush it, ball it, and dredge it in chocolate, even less than great cake comes to life.<br /><br />Carrie, this cake mix with the four eggs and the heavy cream automatically says "heavier consistency".... And your mom taught me about the cake flour and that probably would have helped this one too...<br /><br />I think my current fave white cake from scratch recipe is the Light Golden Cake from Betty Crocker, but I'm still searching just like you.<br /><br />Let me know if you find one first!!!!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-82798097527753903212013-07-29T11:38:31.889-04:002013-07-29T11:38:31.889-04:00looks good to me!

You know, kind of a Pinterest thing, where the real thing rarely turns out looking like the picture?<br /><br />And even if you don't get to eat the cake, you can still make it for special occasion, right?Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-31146585520533362082013-07-29T08:55:52.599-04:002013-07-29T08:55:52.599-04:00Doesn't seem like a fail to me.

But I've cut out most sugar and am possibly going gluten-free (guess I should decide before going grocery shopping later!), so this is one recipe I will have to avoid. *pout* Thank you for sharing, Carrie! And thanks, Jan, for the beautiful pics! (At one point we had a black dog, a white dog, a black-and-white cat, and a white-and-black cat--talk about color coordinating!) :D<br /><br />Blessings,<br />MelanieMelanie Pikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00323878496621771920noreply@blogger.com
