Basic Yellow Cake Recipe

This is the counterpart to our Basic White Cake Recipe.

With both recipes, it is much better to make a cake from scratch, instead of from a box of cake mix. One reason is, it tastes much better. But the real reason is, the cake will  last longer. Remember, when preparing a recipe with eggs, don't let it sit out on the counter for more than a few days. The best thing about this recipe is, you can keep it in the refrigerator, or, you can freeze it.

Ingredients

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease and lightly flour 2 round cake pans or 1 loaf pan, and shake off excess flour. If you like, you can line the inside of the cake pans with parchment paper, or spray them with non-stick spray. The pans should be filled 2/3 full.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together (flour, sugar, baking powder and salt). Add the butter, shortening, milk and the vanilla or lemon extract.

Beat for 1 minute. stir in eggs. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.

Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes for round cake pans, and about 45 minutes for loaf pan., or until you can insert a toothpick into the cake and it comes out clean.

Remove, and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Insert a knife between the cake and pan to carefully remove the cake.

Finally, frost between the layers, and all over the layers with your favorite icing, and,

Enjoy!
