Wanted: White Wedding Cake Recipe

[angel-jd1]

I am searching for a white wedding cake recipe (gluten-free of course). I will be graduating in December from College and we are having a reception. What is a celebration without cake!!!! I have a good yellow cake recipe, but would really like the cake to be a white one. If you have a tried and true tasty recipe please post it for me!! I would really appreciate it and it would make my graduation day even that more special.

Thanks -Jessica

There is a really good recipe in the Scott Free Newsletter that you can subscribe to. When you subscribe you have access to the past six or seven issues, and there is a good recipe in one of them. If I can find it at home, I will get it for you.

Jessica,

Have you tried to alter your wonderful yellow cake to be white?

All you need to do to make it white is to use all egg whites instead of whole eggs. Your recipe calls for 4 eggs, so you would need 6 whites instead. If you decide to try it, then let us know how it turns out. You already know your yellow cake turns out great, so it is just a matter of cutting out the egg yolks.

And congrats on the graduation!

God bless,

Mariann

Yes, it is a very moist, light lemony flavor - excellent with white frosting. The pineapple upside down cake also turned out well
