Wonderful flavor. This is much better than your standard yellow cake recipe that uses all-purpose flour. The cake flour and real butter makes a difference in this recipe so don't skimp, use the exact ingredients that are listed.

I had a very nice outcome with this recipe. It had a great flavor, first of all. The cake baked nice and evenly, so it was easy to frost, and it had a nice spongy texture.

This has the best flavor--doesn't even need frosting really, but if you do frost it, my family likes it with a milk chocolate frosting better than a dark chocolate, as the cake is not a really sweet one. It stays moist for days (if there's any left).

I made 2 test cakes for a shower and this is the one that was the unanimous winner. I will be making it for the shower and I know everyone will love it.

After a seemingly endless search for a non-cake mix cake to make for birthdays, I found this recipe. My god, it made such a fantastic cake! I followed the recipe to exactness, but my mom decided to 'help' me by taking out my finished cakes that were calmly cooling for the very important 15 minutes in the pans and transferring one to the cooling rack. Needless to say, it was a near disaster because a big piece broke off. It's always important to remember that things continue to cook even when they come out of the oven! At any rate, all ended up well and the cake was positively divine. I'll be making this regularly any time I need a yellow cake, as I really love baking from scratch. Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

This cake tasted delicious but fell to pieces and was very crumbly. I didn't use cake flour, so that may have something to do with it. Taste = 5 stars, but consistency was only 4 stars.

This was an amazing cake! Very dense, perfect! It came out of the pan without any problems, even though it wasn't fully cooled...very easy cake to make, too. I will definitely use this recipe again! Delicious!

I have been looking for a good recipe for a yellow cake for years! This is it! I was beginning to think it was impossible to make a yellow cake from scratch that was better than a box cake. Fortunately, I found this recipe. Yellow cake was the only cake that I couldn't make from scratch, so I am very happy!

It's pretty alright. Perhaps I made a mistake somewhere along the line... but I found this recipe to be a bit too gritty to fit my standards for a yellow cake. It's not bad, but it wasn't what I was expecting.

One of the photos looked wonderful, just like those cake bases that a favourite bakery of mine makes. I was rather disappointed in this cake, though it was tender, and held up extremely well to slicing and layering. But it just didn't have the light, un-greasy to the touch feel that I was looking for. It's not a bad cake, just not what I want. But I'm sure I'll try again.

My fault - after all, I did substitute brown sugar for white and I may have undercooked it - but too moist for me (can't believe I just said that). I guess I prefer Scottley's Basic Yellow Cake. But I'm glad that I tried this after all. I may try again following the recipe exactly, but 8 eggs feels so extravagant.

This was way too sweet for my taste, but my bf (the birthday boy) loved it. I whipped 4 egg whites separately and folded them in last (used the other 2 for frosting) and the cakes rose nicely. It is a very moist cake.

After discovering I had forgotten to buy a cake mix for my husband's birthday, I found this recipe and decided to try it based on the reviews it got. We were not impressed, and I will not make it again. I made it exactly according to the recipe, but I found it did not cook in the specified time. The cake seemed to be very dense. It didn't taste bad but it wasn't worth all the trouble either.

DON"T DO IT! I read the reviews warning this cake tastes of cornbread but went ahead anyway since there were so many other positive reviews. The cake IS moist but that's the best part. It definitely tastes like cornbread and is way too crumbly. Might be good for eating at home but you could hardly decorate this and cut it up presentably.

This is the best yellow cake recipe. I normally use 4 whole eggs instead of the 8 yolks (because I don't really have a use for the whites) and I use regular all-purpose flour and it comes out great every time. I usually frost my cakes with buttercream icing and everyone tells me they are great. Thanks for the recipe!
