Who loves white cake?

[RadishRose]

I used to love the cake in a rectangle pan with holes poked in all over and liquid Jello mix poured over. Then set in the fridge.

It's been years.

I used to make that too!! The kids loved it. We used different flavors of jello.

 

[RadishRose]

please someone help...

What flavor is white cake?
What flavor is yellow cake?

Or, just tell me how they differ in flavor. I never noticed and then, I usually have chocolate anyway.

What flavor is white cake?
What flavor is yellow cake?

For me white is the favor of the icing
And yellow? It too is the flavor of the icing

...but then, I'm an icing slut


come to think about it.....cake doesn't have any taste at all to me

 

[RadishRose]

Hmmmm

 

[RadishRose]

nope--do not like white cake-i prefer yellow

Please tell me why @twinkles.
Frosting not withstanding,
What is the difference in flavors?

@Wren, what did you call white cake to differentiate it from chocolate or coconut, etc. ?

Just ‘Cake’, but now I’m confused so I googled it and I don’t think I’ve ever seen ‘White cake’ certainly never baked it, it’s all to do with using mainly egg whites or the whole egg which gives the colour to yellow cake....apologies for my ignorance, I’ll be on the look out for it in future

I always added a little almond flavoring to a white cake with whipped frosting and coconut.

Most of the time I made yellow cakes because I didn't want to fiddle with the leftover yolks.

I used to frost the white cakes with fluffy inexpensive boiled flour aka ermine frosting with a little almond extract.

Here is one of many recipes. You can use margarine or vegetable shortening instead of butter or in combination with the butter. I used to make the flour mixture and refrigerate it the morning of or day before I actually made the frosting.

White cake is white because only the eggs whites are used; yellow cake is yellow because the whole eggs are used.

So, does that make yellow cake more moist?

Not a cake lover to speak of.

Oooooh! I love most cakes Keesha so it and many others are my favorites! They make a really good white cake at a pizza place I get delivery from..they call it Cassada Cake. It has whipped cream icing and real whipped cream between the layers...it's to die for! ❣

I don't notice a difference.

I love white cake,though I haven't had in awhile.
In the past, I've had cakes baked from local grocery stores,sometimes the icing is just too sweet for my taste.I don't like coconut on cake either. The Pepperidge Farm cakes Aunt Bea mention I like too

All it takes is an empty pie pan to make a cake lover out of me!

It would depend on the baker and recipe but if following the same recipe the yellow cake ‘should’ be notable more moist due to the fatty acid lecithin in the egg yolks. Great question.

Oh no apologies needed @Wren! I don't bake, but common sense should have told me the yellow would have come from the yolks.... I should have looked it up myself. Thank you for the info, I'll be exploring it.

I must be too tired.. every time I see the title, this tune comes up:

"Who likes white cake? WE like white cake!"

 

[RadishRose]

This is awesome!

I love whatever cake is put in front of me. Even fruit cake. Buttercream frosting, please - not a big fan of whipped cream.
