White Almond Sour Cream Cake

Often considered the quintessential wedding cake, it has a very subtle almond taste. Really you can use this recipe to make most any kind of cake varying the flavoring and the cake mix. This is the cake I made for mom at the 2007 reunion

1 (18 ounce) box white cake mix
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup
granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon
salt
1 1/3 cups water

1/8 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup
sour cream
4 large egg whites

Directions
1Place all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir together with a wire whisk.
2Add the remaining ingredients and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
3Pour into greased and floured cake pans, filling each pan a little over half full.
4Lightly tap cake pans on counter to bring air bubbles to top.
5Bake in preheated 325° F oven until cake tests done. (about 35 minutes for 8 inch rounds)

Makes 2 8 inch round cakes
