Yellow Cake Recipe

Posted on July 28th, 2008 | by admin |

Ingredients:
2 3/4 c. all purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 c. shortening
2 c. sugar
4 large eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 c. milk

I have tried this with part butter and part shortening and didn’t like it very much, it turned out very greasy, I believe because butter has a lower melting point. This recipe can be halved or doubled with the same results and also used to make cupcakes (bake for about 15-20 mins).
You can also swap out the vanilla extract for other flavorings or add some orange or lemon zest.

    Thanks for your videos!! (You should be honored to know your videos contribute to a large amount of my companies unproductive time).
    I was wondering have you ever tried paper towel method of leveling your cake? As soon as you take it out of the oven, take a couple of paper towels, lay on top of the cake use your fondant smoother with little pressure, press the cake so it’s levelled.

    I have read of a method similar to that but I actually like to have that little hump, this way I can taste and make sure I’m giving out a quality product. I tell people it’s the only time I can eat my own cake, cakes are not safe in my house, they tend to attach themselves to my hips and thighs whenever I walk by one made for just us lol!

    Hey there, I was just wondering about what kind for texture this cake has? Im on the quest for the BEST Vanilla cake (or white/yellow etc..) Ive tried quite a few that i may have liked but the family doesnt…:( They like the texture of sponge cakes and cake mix ones…..How does this one turn out? =)

    Ah, this is not like a sponge cake or a cake mix, I would compare it more to a pound cake. Hmm, we’re actually going to be eating some today! lol! :)

    Well, …
    Thank you!
    Well, I’ve only ever tried 1/2 butter and half shortening and while the cake tasted alright, it seemed kind of greasy. Butter has a lower melting point than shortening so if you were going to use all butter you’d have to somehow adjust the rest of the recipe.

    You should be able to find it at any grocery store, Pam sells it next to their butter spray and there’s a couple of other brands too.
