I've always been on the lookout for the perfect white cake recipe. I have made sooo many white cakes and have been mostly disappointed by them. Last year I did make the "Perfect Party Cake" by DG and I liked it a lot but I tend to lean more towards sweeter so I'm thinking the CI one will be more to my liking. I have every Cook's Illustrated magazine and cookbook there is so I'm not sure why I've never attempted their white cake recipe but I'm going to today......if I find the time that is. That you so much for taking all that time to compare and bake all that cake! I know it's fun but it's still time consuming. Your red velvet comparison is also really interesting.

Always....I think I and probably at least a few others learn so much about recipes/ techniques/ ingredients just by reading your posts! I absolutely am thankful that you actually took the time to do recipes comparison! I don't think not many ppl. out there could find the time nor the energy to do what you do! So please, for the sake of many others out there, please keep up the good work! You definitely have a very dedicated fan out there who enjoys your posts, a lot!

I've had both Dorie's and Nick's recipes on my list, but now I'll definitely add CI's too! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for making the comparisons... there are so many different varieties of white cake it's hard to deduce where the similarities begin and the differences end! What an informative read!!!

Good work on comparing the recipes. I've been and still am in the lookout for a good white cake. I tried the CI's cake and although it tastes aweseome and is tender, I found it to be a tad dry (could be my handheld mixer) . And its not easy to split into layers....so tender that it crumbles away. I wonder how they make the white cakes that you get at the bakeries...light, fluffy and so moist !!!

I tried the CI recipe for cupcakes today and it turned out really well. I have a hand mixer and I thought it was easy. I thought it was a little bit sweet too, but the texture was exactly what I was hoping for! I am going to use this for my son's birthday cake!
