I have it in the oven now for my first attempt at this recipe but I have to question the 40 min. cook time. That seems like way too much time. I also used lemon instead of vanilla.

Made this into cupcakes, made about 16. This cake tastes great even without icing! Happy to find a good scratch recipe. I use my own hens eggs and they are extra large so I only used 2 and that was fine. Making Boston Cream Cupcakes.

Very dry and dense but not in a good way. Not worth the cost of ingredients, the time to make it or the time at the gym to burn it off. I am an experienced baker.

Much better than the Wilton basic yellow cake recipe! The only changes I made, was I used baking soda as I was out of baking powder after a weeks worth of Wilton thud brick cakes, and then to counter the saltiness of the baking soda, I added about 1/4 more sugar to the mix and baked in a water bath in the oven at 325 in convection mode. What I got was the most spectacularly soft and moist and fluffy cake! It was amazing! For those who are getting dense cakes or cornbread like cakes, beat your shortening or butter and eggs more to make it lighter and fluffier and presift your flour. It makes a ton of difference. You really can't do wrong with this cake recipe. If it's not turning out, it's operator error.

Baking time is WAY too long. I bake a lot and found this recipe because I was needing something with fewer ingredients than what I usually make. This has potential if you make a few changes however next time I'm out of buttermilk I think I'll just try one of the other higher rated yellow cake recipes on here.

This recipe has way too much salt! Next time I try this recipe I'll use a dash of salt. The cake turned out perfectly brown but not tasty at all.
