• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter, 1 cup sugar and the vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on low speed until combined.

• Half the recipe makes:.
• Two 7" rounds.

• For chocolate cake: use chocolate mixes and substitute 6 whole eggs for the egg whites.
• For liqueur flavors: substitute alcohol (such as champagne or Kahlua) for about 1 cup of the water in the recipe.
• For berry flavors: use frozen berries, thaw reserving the juice. Substitute the berry juice for part of the water in the recipe, and stir the berries in at the end.
• For lemon cake: substitute lemon juice for about 1 cup of the water in the recipe, use 6 whole eggs instead of the whites, stir in 1 Tblsp lemon zest, and use 1 tsp of a good lemon extract in place of the almond.

KAKELADI'S ORIGINAL WASC (WHITE ALMOND SOUR CREAM) CAKE

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix 1st 3 ingredients. (see notes below) Set aside.
• Place remaining ingredients in mixer bowl then add the dry.
• Mix on low (I use a KA mixer) speed for 30 seconds, until dry ingredients are incorporated; mix at medium 2 minutes.
• This makes 1 & 1/2 times the usual batter than a 'straight' cake mix. It will fill one of the following pans: 8" sq; 12" round; 9x13x2; OR one 10" and 6" round.
• Pour into pan(s) and bake as you usually do. I prefere to bake at 300 degrees F. for 20 minutes, then turn oven up to 325 degrees F. for an equal time OR until you can smell cake If it has pulled away from the edges of the pan it is *over done*. You should have a flat cake that won't (usually) need leveling & is not sticky on the top when it cools.
• Special NOTES:.
• That's right -- there is NO oil, butter or margarine in this recipe.
• Use large eggs.
• If almond extract (not emulsion) is used, add 2 teaspoons or to taste.
• Can use ANY cake flavor.
• Flavorings can change depending on cake flavor you use. Try a combination of 1 part vanilla, 1/2 part butter flavoring and 1/4 part almond.
• It is important to mix the dry ingredients well especially if using a chocolate mix or you will have white spots in the finished cake. I use a wire wisk.

WHITE ALMOND SOUR CREAM CAKE WITH ALMOND BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line three 8-inch round pans or four 7-inch cake pans with parchment rounds, then grease with nonstick cooking spray.
• Mix together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment until fully combined. Mix chunks of butter slowly into the dry mixture on low speed until no large chunks of butter remain and the mixture becomes crumbly. Pour in the egg whites and mix on low speed until just incorporated. Add the sour cream, almond extract, vanilla extract, and oil and mix until fully incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, then beat on low speed for a few more seconds.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans.
• Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cake layer comes out clean, 33 to 35 minutes. Allow the pans to cool for 10 minutes, then run an offset spatula around the perimeters of the pans to separate the cakes from the pans. Place the cake layers in their pans in the freezer until fully cooled, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Carefully flip the pans and remove the layers from the pans. Use a serrated knife to level the tops of the layers.
• For the almond buttercream: Meanwhile, beat the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Turn to low speed and slowly add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternating with small splashes of cream, until fully mixed. Add the almond extract, vanilla extract and salt and beat on low until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the desired consistency is reached. (If the frosting is too thick, add additional cream 1 teaspoon at a time. If the frosting is too thin, add more powdered sugar 1/4 cup at a time.) Add the gel food coloring, if using, and beat on low speed until it reaches the desired color.
• Stack a cake layer on a greaseproof cake board using a dab of frosting to help it stick. Frost the top of the cake layer, then continue to stack the layers, adding a thin layer of buttercream between each layer. Apply a thin coat of frosting around the sides and on top of the cake to fully cover the cake layers. Smooth using a bench scraper, then chill the cake until the frosting is firm to the touch, 20 minutes in the fridge or 5 minutes in the freezer. Add a second, thicker layer of frosting, and smooth using a bench scraper.
• Trim the stems of each flower to 1-inch long. Wrap the flower stems with floral tape, pinching and twisting at the bottoms to prevent fluids from the stems from leaking into the cake. Place the remaining buttercream in a piping bag and add a thick layer of frosting on top of the cake. Place the flowers into the frosting until the entire top of the cake is covered with flowers.
