Moist Yellow Cake

This deserves more than 4 stars. You should pick your cake recipe based on the type of cake that you want. If you want a moist yellow cake with rich flavor this is a great cake. It’s my go to cake for birthdays.

My go to cake! Not too sweet, have used for cake pops, fondant covered, fruit and of course frosted. Not being too sweet you are not overloaded when covering with other sweets. Sturdy enough to hold fondant (see pic) but holds its own flavor. I got the "cornmeal" comments also but yet those same people paid me to make this cake for their celebrations! When I made cake pops with melted chocolate I was told it tasted like ice cream. I make as directed, always use cake flour and still sift that a few times. Great foundation cake- sturdy for heavy coverings but delicate enough for a whipped cream topping. OMG try with cool whip, pineapple and vanilla pudding mixed as a frosting. It is out of this world. One last thing- I do parties for work and have never brought any leftovers.

I made a dozen cupcakes that my kids did enjoy once I filled the valley with frosting....so PICK ONE....use only one - baking powder OR baking soda - and then add salt...

I was worried after I sifted all that flour and took care to have room temp. items and made sure to mix the flour with butter first, then liquids, I still ended up with an extremely watery batter. I shrugged my shoulders and ladled it into cupcake pan first, thinking I may as well finish it even if it turns out bad. The cupcakes didn't rise much, but they did rise some and they were delicious! I really don't understand the corn bread responses... It was moist and sweet with no corn taste.
