These comments are from their cookbook: "At Magnolia we decided to make our cake not quite a traditional yellow cake or a traditional sponge cake, given the use of whole eggs in our recipe. We're sure you'll agree this recipe is moist, delicious and makes a beautiful layer cake or cupcakes for birthdays or any celebration. Frost with pink buttercream icing and lots of colored sprinkles as we do, and feel as though you're at your seventh birthday party all over again!"

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you're using a buttercream frosting, make sure it's not too thick. A thick frosting will be difficult to spread and may cause the cake to slide around.
