This cake is great! If you want the texture to be right USE THE CAKE FLOUR and sift the flour salt and baking powder 3 TIMES to get ultimate texture.

I love this cake! So delicious and moist. I made one minor change - I use 5 whole eggs instead of 8 egg yolks (I just didn't want to use up that many eggs) - and it tastes great! I love to eat it without frosting - my favorite is always the CAKE part of the cake.

I did think that the taste of this cake was very, very good, but unfortunately for me, the layer that I used for the top of my cake fell apart; my family is now calling it the "Grand Canyon Cake"! I think that it was most likely my own fault, as I am not used to baking cakes from scratch- I always doctor up the box mixes. What I did for this recipe was make it a lemon cake; I added about a 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice and 3 TB of lemon zest to the batter and used a lemon curd for the middle of the cake. Tasted flipping great but it did fall apart. I think that I overmixed the batter a bit, but I am going to try it again and see what happens. Oh, and I did use cake flour with this recipe which is new for me, too. Just gotta get back up on the horse and try again! LOL

This cake was ok. I found the texure of it to be cornbreadish. I can see where those reviews came from. I have definately made better and most likely would not make this cake again.

We have egg and milk allergies, so I substitute some things. I use allergy-safe margarine and milk, and use 4 Tbs of flax seed meal with 12 Tbs hot water in place of the 8 eggs. You need to reduce the butter/marg by a tablespoon or so because of the slight oil content of the flax. The cake turns out light and the crust is crispy. It has a great flavor and I eat it without frosting sometimes! (I would rather eat just frosting than just cake) We love this recipe.

This was lovely! I was looking for an easy layer cake and this fit the bill. I used 4 whole eggs instead of yolks only because I wanted a slightly lighter color for the icing I had planned. Then I froze the layers use later. It was firm enough to torte easily, thawed out to be moist and flavorful and tasted great. I will be using this again soon!

I must say this is the best cake I ever made - and my first from scratch. It was moist and the best balance between sweet and not too sweet. Great Cake. I made it with the Rich Chocolate Frosting recipe from this site.

I was searching for a from scratch yellow cake recipe and decided on this one cause it had the best reviews. People seemed to like it just how it was without having to tweak it to make it work. For this reason I thought it was pretty fool proof. Maybe it was something I did wrong but I was highly disappointed. I followed the directions to a T but my cake came out looking like it had been hit by a meteor. It was high on the sides and sunken in the center. Cooked evenly but totally misshapen. I've cooked many cakes before and have never had this problem. The flavor was not great and it was very dry. Once I researched the problems I had I discovered that mabye I was disappointed because I had just chose the wrong cake recipe. I was looking for a moist cake with a fine crumb and a sweet flavor. This cake had a large dry crumb and was somewhat similar to cornbread with a tough crust. I continued my search and found just what I was looking for in the Betty Crocker recipe for yellow cake. I gave it 2 stars becuse the problems could have partially been my fault and it wasn't a horrible tasting cake, just wasn't exactly what I was looking for. If you want a large crumb cake that will stand up to a heavy frosting this may be what you're looking for. But if you want a soft, moist, fine crumb, fool proof cake go with the Betty Crocker recipe.

I had great success with this cake. I also tried it again but added almost 1 cup of cocoa for a chocolatey version, which turned out nice as well. Thanks!

I followed the directions exactly and my cake was 1/4 inch thick and didn't rise. It also dripped over the side and made a huge mess in my oven. I believe that if I had used the whole egg it might have been more fluffy. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because it tasts really good. This is great for those who don't care about how their cake looks but try a different cake if you want looks and taste!

My daughter and I made this for her 7th birthday, and she decided to add an entire bage of baking M & M's. We used Caroline's Chocolate Fudge Frosting from this website, and it was perfect! I was afraid the cake would have an eggy taste, but once it was fully cooled I didn't taste the egg at all, and the texture was great. This is a keeper for our family.
