Durable Cake Recipe

[keeganluvscake]

I ended trying this recipe instead of using WASC with the PB dark chocolate and chocolate fudge pudding. I know the recipe was said it would be thick but I could barely use my hand mixer(KA bowl still had bc in it) . So anyway, I didn't care for it myself not being a big dark chocolate fan. I'm not sure if it was because thats how it tastes or because I mixed a double batch. It turned out great in appearance. What has your expereince been with this recipe?(if you have used it) I was dying to try out my Agbay!

I have used the durable cake recipe with several different options, it is a very dense and thick batter. It always bakes up fine, if you dont like the dark chocolate try another flavor.

I haven't tried that recipe but can recommend one that I've used for the last wedding and 3 batches of cupcakes. Got very good reviews. You can not go wrong with this cake and it doesn't require mixer....Yay!!! Very very easy. I made a different buttercram (raspberry cream cheese buttercream?) instead of a frosting recommended here, but you can bake the cakes by this recipe.

In RE: to Hopesieka's recipe post... This is so funny... We call this cake Texas Sheet Cake... dont' know why... that's what we call it. When my kids were home this weekend we were talking about this reicpe! I used to make it all the time because is was yummy, quick and everyone always liked it. This is a great recipe. Instead of buttermilk we always use sour milk mixing vinegar with milk.
