I improved this recipe, so it has been edited. I have been looking for a good white cake recipe for a long time, I must have tried 8-10 different ones. Didn't like the texture or flavor of this one or that one, and then there are the ones that fell or were too crumbly to even frost. So, I threw together one of my own. -- I now live in the mountains, and my original version did not work well at a high altitude, so I edited it. Then edited again when that didn't work.

9* Tip; if your cake comes out too dry, make a simple syrup with equal parts of sugar and water. Bring to a boil stirring till sugar is dissolved. Cool completely. Then using a pastry brush, apply syrup to each layer evenly. Allow it to soak in a minute or so before the addition of frosting or custard. *
