Seriously the best white cake recipes!
I know what you are thinking- cake from a box? Well I used to agree, and still have many from scratch recipes on my blog (like my ultimate chocolate cake and my orange marmalade cupcakes!), but sometimes I like the time saved using a boxed cake mix can give. So I decided to add more ingredients to the boxed cake mix to make it taste AMAZING!
How to make this easy white cake recipe:
- Prep your cake rounds with butter and flour and preheat your oven to 325°F
- Combine all the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly
- Add in the cake mix and stir until just combined (over mixing can cause your cake to not bake well)
- Divide batter between your cake rounds and bake for 25 minutes
- Let cool completely before frosting!
I recommend frosting this with my amazing vanilla buttercream, whipped cream frosting, or my super delicious chocolate frosting!

Servings: 3 6in cakes
Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix I used Pillsbury brand
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tbs vanilla
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 4 egg whites
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Prep your cake rounds by covering the inside of the pans with a light layer of butter and then dusting with flour. I like to use my fingers to make sure the butter gets in all seams.
- Mix together, either by hand or in a stand mixer, the oil, vanilla, sour cream, heavy cream and egg whites. Then mix in the boxed cake mix. Divide the batter between the 3 cake rounds.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Make sure to bake all the cakes on the same oven rack so they bake evenly.
- Let the cakes cool for 5 minutes then flip upside down onto a wire cooling rack and remove the pans. They should come out easily.
- Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.
