Question: Im from england cant get betty crocker white cake mix anyone got a good white cake recipe!?
Answers:
I am a former chef from Canada and there must be something at Tesco, ASDA, Sainsburys or Morrison's to fit the bill, I could give you a recipe, but it is similar to a Victoria Sponge only you add the fat in the beginning and more leavening like baking powder, even use self-rising flour!.

Betty Crocker cakes use a lighter batter, and white is just not as yellow as a darker cake, any home made butter cake and use more egg whites than yolks even adding them beaten to a meringue and folded in to lighten the batter, and slower baked to keep it from drying out!. If you have any further questions let me know, I travel to Liverpool 2 times a year to see friends and relatives, and have seen similar products there in the shops!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
