Oooooh, what a cake! Moist and flavorful, and easy to make. It’s less sweet than any yellow cake from a mix, which is a plus. The simplicity of the recipe allows the vanilla flavor to be the star, along with the texture. Definitely cut off the domes, because, as Sam said, they’re great for snacking.

Hi Carol! You can certainly double the recipe, you will just want to be careful to not over-mix the batter. 🙂

I used this recipe as written in the past and it was perfectly moist with a nice crumb.
I was wondering if I could double the recipe to bake in a 3 8”x 3” pans. Or would it be better to mix each batch separately?
Thanks for a great recipe!
Carol

Hi Beth! I believe this recipe would fill one 12 inch pan, but I’m not sure on a bake time. It would certainly be increased. 🙂

this recipe looks amazing. how much batter and cook time would I need for 12 inch circle pans instead?

Hi Bryanna! I think if that’s all I had on hand, then I would try it. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. 🙂

Hi Sam,

I love your recipes so much! They’re easy to follow and always turn out awesome.

Can the 1/2 cup of whole milk be substituted for buttermilk?

Hi Sam,
I asked you a while ago about making this yellow cake recipe in 2-10 inch pans. You were so kind enough to take the time to answer me. Well, I made it and it was FANTASTIC! So YUMMY..
Thank you

Use an electric mixer when combining the ingredients. A whisk does not do an adequate job. Also recipe calls for 40 minutes of bake time…should be more like 32 -35 minutes. I should have watched the video before I made this cake. Mine came out a little overdone. I’ll make it again using the instructions on the video.

Made this BUTTER cake, yes, I changed the name, lol, again today and it did not disappoint! I typically use 9” pans but today I used 8” per the recipe and they baked up in exactly 40 min. I always use baking strips and this recipe yields perfectly flat layers with no need to level. This is my goto yellow cake recipe♥️♥️♥️. Thanks again for sharing!

Hi Kathee! You will need to 1.5 the recipe to fill your pans. No need to make separate batches, you should be fine to make it in one. Enjoy!

Hi Sam,
I love how you write your recipes…they are so easy to follow. . I am going to make your yellow cake recipe, but need it to serve 25 (ladies), so I am going to use 2-10×2” pans. Should I double the recipe or make one recipe and put it in one pan, then make it again and put it in the other pan?
Thank you for sharing your delicious recipes.
Warm Regards,
Kathee

What just happened. This is seriously the best recipe. I just made this cake and can’t believe how good it is.
Thank you!

The cake itself is moist and light. However, there is something wonky here because the top browns and gets crispy when the cake is actually baked. My oven temperature is accurate and I can only get successful results if I turn the oven down to 325 after 15 minutes into the baking time. The confetti and white cake recipes are always perfect. I will stick with those! Your recipes are always great. Thanks ☺️

In reply to Jessica.

Hi Jessica! Silly question, but are you adjusting your temperature for the convection oven? I would probably just reduce the temperature a little bit to counter this issue. I hope this helps. 🙂

Jessica — Thu, 05 Oct 2023 15:06:31 +0000

My convection oven was recently fixed and it’s cooking much closer to the temperature on the dial and it never used to. Now my cake is browning quite a bit on the edges and on the top but slightly raw in the middle. What would you recommend I do! I don’t do have a conventional oven and I believe that’s what you’re using.

I’m glad you enjoyed it, Carol! I may just need a minute or two less in the oven. 🙂

Easy!! Light!! Moist!! I live everything about this cake!! I used a Fat Daddio pan and my edge around the top was a little crunchy. Next time I will try the cake strips.

I surprised myself making my first ever cake from scratch and chocolate frosting from scratch as well. The cake is amazing and yes super moist and tender, I did use a hand mixer for a minute Orr two to get out the lumps that I couldn’t get out by hand but this recipe is a keeper. Thank you!😋
