We're excited to share our favorite white almond wedding cake recipe that's perfect for weddings, birthdays, or any special occasion.

This cake is not only moist and dense but also incredibly flavorful, thanks to the secret ingredient: sour cream. Whether you're planning a wedding or celebrating a family milestone, this cake will surely impress your guests!

Key Ingredients for a Perfect Cake

This cake recipe uses simple ingredients that are easy to find. To create this white almond wedding cake, you'll need white cake mix, all-purpose flour, white sugar, salt, water, sour cream, vegetable oil, almond extract, vanilla extract, and egg whites. The addition of sour cream is what makes the cake wonderfully moist and gives it that rich texture that everyone loves.

Mixing the Ingredients

We begin by preheating the oven to 325°F (165°C) and greasing and flouring an 11x13-inch cake pan. In a large mixing bowl, we stir together the white cake mix, flour, sugar, and salt until everything is well combined. Then, we add the wet ingredients: water, sour cream, vegetable oil, almond extract, vanilla extract, and egg whites. Using an electric mixer on low speed, we beat the mixture for about four minutes until it's evenly mixed and slightly lumpy.

Baking the Cake

Next, we pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and smooth it out. The cake is baked in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the top turns light golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. After baking, we let the cake cool before adding any frosting.

Frosting and Decorating

Once the cake is cooled, we can decorate it with your favorite frosting. For weddings, a classic buttercream frosting pairs perfectly with the moist and dense texture of this cake, but feel free to get creative with your decoration. Whether you choose a simple glaze or intricate piping designs, this cake is sure to stand out.
