If you wanted to reduce the amount of wet ingredients needed if giving as a gift, you can hit up Costco when they’ve got their vanilla beans 10/$10 and scrape a bean into the original mix. Then you don’t have to add the extract, and it will look more interesting through the jar, too. Just an idea. Thanks for the clever post!

Yes! I was using egg whites for a white cake… I think you could easily sub in three eggs for a more yellow cake texture and flavor. I would also try some different ratios with the butter and using oil and omit the almond extract. Have fun with it!

Hmmm….are you using all egg whites because you want a white cake? If so, would 3 whole eggs be a good substitute for a yellow cake or other flavor?
