Any one have any good ideas for white cake mix? I'm making a co-worker a birthday cake, and she requested white/white. So, I'd like to spruce it up a little and maybe add a raspberry filling or something?
Also, can I frost a cake with just whipped cream? will it be dense enough?
Not as fancy as doing a filling, but I make the white cake with the 'pokes' of jello, and just top that with whipped cream! Has to stay cool, tho, so it doesn't run!!
Whipped cream might go watery on you. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't.
Instead of just whipped cream, you could try
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons powdered sugar
12 ounces cool whip, thawed
Some people had a couple dashes of vanilla
Mix the cream cheese and sugar (and vanilla if using) until creamy. Fold in the cool whip. Frost the cooled cake.
As I'm Veg*n- I opt for Gelatine-free Jello such as Jeannie (and it presents the same results) and Vegan Pudding Mix- but regardless, here are the recipes here!
You can break the cooled cakes into chunks and layer it with something -- tropical ambrosia salad (Cool Whip, crushed pineapple, mandarin oranges and maraschino cherries with coconut whipped together) is a good layering item -- or chunks of other fruit of your choice with Cool Whip. You can also whisk half a cup of Tang powder into the Cool Whip and use that instead.
I only use Duncan Hines cake mixes because I think they taste less fake.
A favorite white cake recipe of mine is Angel Cake with Lemon filling and cream cheese frosting.
Make a packaged angel food cake according to pkg instructions. I suppose you could use regular white cake, but I have not. Cool
Mix a jar of Lemon curd with 1/3 cup sour cream.
Slice the angel food cake into 3 layers
Spread the lemon curd filling on the two inside layers
Top with a typical cream cheese frosting. (8 oz cream cheese, 3 c powdered sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, grated rind of a lemon, enough cream to make spreading consistancy)
I've used Smuckers spreadable Raspberry fruit as well as Polaner all fruit spread in between white cake layers. I just bake the cake in two layers and spread the fruit in between layers (don't bring the fruit quite to the edge). I've used cool whip to cover the cake and another time I used a buttercream icing. I usually spread a layer of my icing/cool whip between the cake layers and then spread on the spreadable fruit to help keep the fruit from bleeding into the bottom layer of the cake. This just makes a more palatable cake than plain old white cake with white icing. The raspberry is really good.
Are you sure your co-worker won't mind stuff like raspberry filling if what she asked for is a white/white cake?
I am one of those people who dislikes things like fruit or ANY kind of fruit filling in cake. EG love raspberries, love chocolate, but would very strongly dislike any cake with raspberry in it.
Of course it's very possible that I am just weird when it comes to cake.
