Signature Yellow Cake

This is a beautiful tender butter cake with a fine crumb and good vanilla flavour.

It’s made using the creaming method and contains the standard ingredients though it does have egg yolks in addition to whole eggs “ hence the lovely pale yellow colour.

Flo Braker provides ingredient weights as well as volume measurements and her instructions are very detailed …… this is a no-fail cake if you follow these precisely. She mentions that the cakes dome when they’re baked, but I used cake strips and they baked up perfectly flat.

The recipe makes 2 - 9” layers or 3 - 8” - a perfect base for a special occasion cake. I used it for Cupid’s Strawberry Cake.
