What Is Yellow Cake?
This classic yellow cake might be the most traditional of them all. It’s a simple and rich recipe made with butter and whole eggs which yields a golden crumb and tender cake. This particular yellow cake recipe also adds in egg yolks, a bit of vegetable oil, and uses buttermilk to bring this moist yellow cake recipe to life! If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, feel free to use my easy buttermilk substitute.
How To Make Yellow Cake
It is super easy to make this yellow cake from scratch, but it’s VERY important to make sure that ALL ingredients are room temperature before beginning.
Can You Freeze Yellow Cake?
Yes, you can and freezing this yellow cake makes assembly quick and easy when a special occasion pops up! To freeze it, bake and cool according to the recipe directions. Once the cake has cooled completely, wrap each layer with plastic wrap, then wrap each layer with aluminum foil, then place each layer in a large freezer bag. Freeze for up to three months. When ready to use, remove from the freezer and allow to thaw for 30 to 60 minutes while still wrapped, then remove and use. Assembling the cake when the layers are still partially frozen will actually make it a little easier and will result in clean cuts once the cake is sliced. I’m sure you’ll agree that this is the best yellow cake recipe you’ve ever made!
