How to Make a White Cake More Moist

Professional and home bakers are always looking for the perfect cake recipe. They seek that one ingredient that will make it fluffier, creamier or more moist. There is a wide variety of ingredients and recipes that may help accomplish this goal, but the secret to a moist white cake is simple: make it with olive oil.

Things You'll Need

• White cake recipe and ingredients
• Olive oil

Instructions

1. Begin to mix the ingredients for your white cake.

2. Substitute olive oil for the vegetable oil in the recipe. If the recipe is butter based instead of oil based, replace some or all of the butter, based on your taste preferences.

3. Add the olive oil by combining it with eggs and sugar and whipping them together.

Tips & Warnings

• You do not need expensive extra-virgin olive oil to make a moist cake. The milder version, simply called "olive oil," will work just fine.
