Kajsa Sutro Cake

Of all the cakes that I bake, this is my absolutely favorite. It is easy and delicious, and can be varied with different kinds of fruit preserves. This cake came in 2^nd place at the Mountain Fair cake competition (2016).

Step one:

One box of white cake mix

One box of instant white chocolate pudding mix

Five egg whites

1 ½ cups of water

1 ½ cups of vegetable oil

Step two:

Place all ingredients listed above (to seeds) in a large mixing bowl and mix well with an electric mixer. Add Poppy Seeds and mix at low speed to blend.

Step three:

Pour batter into two prepared 8” or 9” round cake pans, and bake according to cake box instructions.
