Hi Betty R
I just came to London the other day for my birthday, and my daughter asked me what cake i wanted. I was going to go with one of the old tried and true ones, then i remembered the one you posted. So she made it and it was truly wonderful. It was compact and moist and soft, and the frosting was really great. I used to make a cooked one that would go on shiny but then turn dull (it would turn to fudge) but this stayed shiny and soft, and a nice dark chocolate to contrast with the white cake.
Thanks for posting it. I think it's going to be one of my favorites.
I don;t generally like cakes with oil in them, that leaves a strange feeling on the tongue, but the small amount in this didn;t do that, but added that bit of moisture. Great. Thanks |

I just happened to see the yellow cake episode of Good Eats on TV the other night, have you tried that recipe? I wonder how good it is. |

How about the one on America's Test Kitchen - the fluffy yellow cake with chocolate frosting?
It would be nice to compare the two.

I created an account just to tell you how insanely good this cake is! I don't even really care for yellow cake, but this is the best cake I have EVER eaten. My hubbie went crazy over it too. This is definitely a keeper. |

Just to make sure I make this exactly right, what type of milk did you use? Whole milk or 2% or some other kind?
Also, if I am going to bake in the morning, do you think leaving the butter out overnight to soften is a good idea?
I can't wait to start baking! |

Dear Betty,
Thank you for posting such an easy and delicious recipe for basic yellow cake. I have tried so many, any yours is the easiest I've come across. This is my husband's favorite kind of cake, so I am anxious for him to try it. I also tried your chocolate frosting. Not sure how that is going to turn out, since I walked away to take the cake out of the oven, and when I got back to the stove, I had pudding. LOL Anyway, it is delicious. Letting it cool now, so we will either have a frosted yellow cake, or a yellow cake with chocolate pudding trifle.
At any rate, thank you again.
Happy Thanksgiving,
Schatse | | |
