TENDER, MOIST YELLOW CAKE FROM SCRATCH.

Tender, Moist Yellow Cake from Scratch. image

I had trouble with yellow cakes coming out mealy and dry, (like a dry, oily cornbread texture) then I found this recipe in July 2008 Gourmet magazine. It's simple, easy, and the texture is, well, like cake ought to be - moist and tender. All that and delicious too! Don't over beat or it will be tough and try to start out with the ingredients at or near room temperature. Of course, you can make this into cupcakes or 13 x 9, just adjust the baking time. It's done when a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. I'll never go back to the box mixes!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very moist and flavorful. I think it would be great with a less sweet frosting.

This cake is a bit denser than I expected, but it's still very moist and flavorful. I think it would be great with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream.
