I am so glad you wrote about this, PJ! Just a few days ago, I made your Tender White Cake for the third time, and each time I make it, I get the result you refer to. I have always had great success with cakes, but this is the first recipe I have made a recipe using the paste method. I used medium speed throughout, including after adding the milk at the end, and must have beaten the batter too long. I was thinking I'd have to start hunting for a different easy white cake recipe--I wanted one that didn't require the whites to be beaten separately in order to streamline preparation and cleanup. I can't wait to try this recipe again, using a slower speed at the end and a shorter beating time.
