    sweet inspiration & fun baking ideas

    TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 2008

    Finally, I found it!

    A moist yellow cake recipe. (Actually, I asked for it.) I have been on the hunt for a moistyellow scratch cake recipe since I started this site. Ive tried several in the past, like theButter Cake recipe from The Cake Bible(a great baking resource, by the way). And, while the taste was really good, Ive beenhaving a time trying to get the recipe to come out as moist as I like. I finally came to theconclusion that it must be my gas oven thats the problem. At least, thats what Ive beentelling myself.

    So, the hunt was on. It was a short search that began and ended with my friends mom.She used to own a bakery and made the yummiest cakes. So, I thought I would ask thepro for help. And, Im so glad I did. It was yellow and moist, but mostly delicious. Thanksfor the recipe, Shirley! I guess Ill have to come up with another reason to trade my gasoven in for an electric one. Heres the recipe:

    Moist Yellow Cake

    1 cup (2 sticks) of butter (room temperature)2 cups of sugar4 eggs (room temperature)3 cups of sifted self-rising flour (White Lily)1 cup of whole milk (room temperature)1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (McCormicks)1/2 teaspoon butter flavoring

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.Grease and flour (3) 8 inch cake pans.Using a mixer, cream butter until fluffy.Add sugar and continue to cream for about 7 minutes.Add eggs one at a time. Beat well after each egg is added.Add flour and milk (alternating to creamed mixture), beginning and ending withflour.Add vanilla and butter flavoring to mix; until just mixed.Divide batter equally into three cake pans.Hold each layer about 3 inches above your counter and carefully drop the pansflat onto counter several times to ensure release of any air bubbles. This will helpyou have a more level cake.Bake for 25 30 minutes (depending on your oven) until done.Cool in pans for 5 10 minutes.Remove and immediately wrap each layer in plastic wrap to seal in moisture.Cool completely on wire racks.Once cooled, you are ready to assemble your cake.

    Heres a little trick to add moisture into your layers:

    Combine 1 cup of sugar and 2 cups of water.Bring to boil and boil for approximately 3 minutes. Let cool.Pour liquid into a spray bottle or pouring bottle.

    Cake assembly:

    Unwrap first layer and using a serrated knife, level off the top of your cake.Place layer onto your dish. Take a straw and poke holes into the layer. Using yourspray bottle, spray top of layer several times; enough to give it a little moisture. Becareful dont add too much.Add a layer of frosting to your bottom layer. Repeat on second and third layers.Frost the sides.

    Easy Buttercream Frosting

    1 cup (2 sticks) butter (room temperature)

    1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1 1b. 10X powdered sugar1-3 teaspoons milk, half and half or cream

    Using a mixer, cream softened butter and vanilla until smooth.Add sugar gradually, allowing butter and sugar to cream together before addingmore.If you want your frosting a little creamier, add a teaspoon of milk at a time andbeat on high until you get the right texture.Then, just use icing colorsto tint the frosting the color of your choice.

    This is usually just enough for a 2-layer cake, so I would recommend doubling this for athree-layer. But, I like a lot of frosting.

    P.S. Ive been using aluminum cake pansinstead of the dark coated kinds you find in the grocery store. They also come in manydifferent sizes.

    8 Sandy said...When I got married, the woman who made our cake put all thelayers in the freezer, uncovered, for at least 24 hours. That washer secret to moist cake, and she used box mixes! Everyone always raves about em!I made a friends wedding cake, and did the same thing and itturned out fabulous! We had tons of compliments on how moist itwas!Im going to have to try this one though!

    12 Snooky doodle said...wow this cake looks so moist and nice and i like the pink frosting:)November 11, 2008 06:29 AM

    13 Chefanie said...The spray bottle sounds great, just make sure your sugar fullydissolves so your nossel doesnt become crystalized! Anothergreat idea is just to brush the cake with the sugar water and eveninfuse it with other flavors to add to the cake. Another great recipeIve found for a yellow cake is in the Chocolate Obsession byMichael Recchiuti. It uses buttermilk which is another great wayto ensure moistness in a cake. Thanks for all your great ideasand that cake looks heavenly. Charlie and Lola might call it aFairy Cake!November 11, 2008 06:29 AM

    16 Rachelle said...Ill have to give this a try, I too am looking for a good cake recipethat isnt dry. Ive also learned to double frosting, to leave extrasfor piping and just frosting it thick.This is very pretty with the light pink frosting :)November 11, 2008 07:17 AM

I LOVE me a good fruitcake, but I cannever get mine moistbecause no liquor has ever passed theselips. ;-) What do you think?November 11, 2008 01:40 PM

    32 JacTpcMec said...hmm I have been scouring the net and all our cookbooks for agood recipe, I will have to add this to my list, I am not sure aboutthe spray bottle idea though, hmmm I think I will have to give thata whirl as well. I think a minor change I will do is only add a 1/8 oftsp of butter flavor and then and 1/8 of tsp of almond, might trythat and see how it goes.November 11, 2008 01:46 PM

    43 Cat said...Heres a tip so you dont have to level your cakes unless youwant cake to make more cake pops. When your cakes comes outof the oven, gently press them down with piece of parchement orwaxed paper and a clean dish towel. This releases steam andmakes them flat. Be careful not to get burned. You can also put acookie sheet on top and use a couple of canned goods forweight. I like the paper between the cookie sheet as a barrier.November 11, 2008 05:38 PM

I kind of want to bake acake right now and tryi it for myself,..what a happy thingAnother thing you may or may not want to try is to fill the layerswith pudding, just plain ole Jello brand instant pudding wil do! I mix it up with almost haf the milk that is called for and whippedcream( I use fresh ).I leave a little space around the edge that i fill with the frostingand put the pudding/cream mixture in the center, spreading out toabout a half inch from the edge.That is kind of more work but works like a charmyour way issimple and quick..yeah!!!whoda thunk that a spray bottle filled with simple syrup couldmake me so happy,,!!!wooo hoooNovember 13, 2008 04:03 AM

I find it a bit too sweet so for my second layer, Ilessen the sugar. Plopped both the cakes and frosted it.Hmmm just right. And yes, did I say it is a good moist cake?Thank you for the recipe.November 13, 2008 05:54 PM

But I did leave them out for a day and then brushwith simple syrup. Sadly, I didnt get to try them because therecipe made 24 cupcakes and thats exactly how many I needed.However, he reported that they were good! Thanks [email protected] 14, 2008 12:45 AM
