Best Yellow Cake EVER image

A bit unusual mixing technique assures a perfect cake every time. Frost with 1 1/2 batches of my semi classic butter-cream frosting, any flavor will do, but we like the milk chocolate best.

Time 1h

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large egg yolks
1 cup milk (242 grams)
2 1/4 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups sifted cake flour (, 300 grams)
1 1/2 cups sugar (300 grams)
4 teaspoons baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, cool room temperature (170 grams)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease two 9-inch x 1 1/2 inch cake plans line bottoms with parchment paper grease bottom and flour entire pan.
  • In a medium bowl lightly combine the yolks, 1/4 cup milk, and vanilla.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients and mix on low speed for 30 seconds to blend.
  • Add the butter and remaining 3/4 cup milk.
  • Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened.
  • Beat for 90 seconds at medium speed to develop cake structure.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I would try using a different recipe next time.

I thought this cake was just okay. It was a bit dry and the frosting was a bit too sweet. I might try making it again with a different frosting recipe.

I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't as moist as I expected, and the frosting was a bit too thick. I might try making it again with a different frosting recipe.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I won't be making this recipe again.

This recipe is a great starting point for a yellow cake, but I made a few changes to suit my own taste. I used a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour, and I added a bit of lemon zest to the batter. The cake turned out moist and flavorful,

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar in the frosting next time.
