I love this Perfect White Cake recipe. It's the perfect base for whatever type of cake dessert you are trying to make. For this recipe, I decided to make this cake layered with my Mixed Berry Filling.
I also went ahead and used my Boiled Cake Icing as a frosting. This combination is out of this world!
