About this Cook
Currently living and working abroad with my boyfriend in Prague, Czech Republic. I've lived in several countries in Europe and am still trying to adjust to the inconvenience of foreign languages and the metric system when it comes to shopping and baking.

Scottley's Basic Yellow Cake
Amazingly moist and just the right amount of density! I cut the ingredients in half because all I had was one 10x10. Used 125 grams (a little over 1/2 cup) butter, since butter often comes in 250 gram blocks in Czech. and I just cut it in half. I also used 2 eggs and added one tablespoon of veggie oil since there were some comments about moistness. I also added a bit more sugar (less than 1/4 cup) because I forgot and added the sugar in with the flour mixture rather than with the butter as instructed, so I used it to help whip the butter. In my opinion it needed that extra sugar to be a little more sweet. I also don't have an electric beater yet so I let the butter reach room temperature and whipped it with a fork, it's hard work but it turns out just fine! I had some instant chocolate frosting and swirled it into the batter before baking, it came out perfect!
