It's a wacky cake and it is white. Fast and easy. Gives a decent result, not as nice as a white cake from a box, I've never found a from scratch recipe for white cake that does though. This one made a nice base for strawberry shortcake and would be good with sliced peaches too. I thik it is a cake that needs some kind of fruit or something to go with it rather than trying to make it a stand alone cake.

I made this cake to use as a base for strawberry shortcake. It was easy to make and the batter tasted great. After cooling completely the cake is moist and delicious. I would advise against trying the cake while it is still warm. Right out of the oven it is unpleasantly dense with a chewy crust, but the true texture and flavor appear after it has a chance to rest a bit. Thanks for a great recipe!
