Pretty good. It's not yellow, though. The inside was white, so it was just a little confusing. But it had a good texture, light, fluffy, really tasty. Kinda dry, but not obvious. I tasted it without frosting, so I'm sure with frosting, it wouldn't have seemed so dry. It was better than some yellow cakes from scratch, just because it didn't taste like a corn muffin. Over all, not bad. Its a keeper

I've had to edit this review. After trying the White Layer Cake recipe (also from Taste of Home), I have to say that the White Layer Cake recipe is FAR superior in every way - flavor, texture, moisture, you name it. I sort of second what someone else has already said - use the White Layer cake recipe, follow the recipe exactly except add 3 yolks. You'll get a nice golden color if you use organic eggs, the yolks of which are more yellow than regular grocery store eggs.

This recipe is okay, it is however, to dry, and I feel it's kind of bland. So I just thought I would point out that the recipe on here for the White Layer Cake works well by substituting egg yolks instead of the whites, as a yellow cake. That is the recipe I use now, it is very moist and flavorful. I did make some slight alterations that worked great for me. Go check it out!

I choose this recipe because of time constraints and what ingredients I had available in the house. It is very simple and came out great. It was also a hit amongst my guests. I am not sure what happened to make the other reviewers score this cake so low, but that is definately not my testimony.

This recipe was quick and simple, but it was a bit dry. Perhaps I overcooked it or I could add a bit more milk next time. I made it with a caramel frosting and they went together well. I have made a better yellow cake though. I still believe cakes from scratch are better than any boxed cake!

I did not like this recipe at all. The cake was very bland and had a bad taste. I would not recommend trying this one. I think something else needs to be added to it. Also I don't think it's really a yellow cake. It just doesn't resemble any yellow cake I've ever had. I'd stick to the cake in a box instead of this recipe. Sorry.
