Steps:
- Prep: Preheat the oven to 350 F (177 C). Prepare two 9" (22 cm) round cake pans by greasing them and then adding some flour and tapping it around the pan to coat. Tap the excess flour out of the pan. Measure out all of your ingredients for each section of the recipe and keep each grouping together to help with the workflow of the recipe
- MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS: Sift the dry ingredients into a large bowl and then whisk together to combine. Set aside.
- MIX THE WET INGREDIENTS: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients and set aside.
- MAKE THE MERINGUE: In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment or with a hand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium/high speed until they start forming medium peaks. With the mixer still running, slowly stream in the sugar and keep beating until you reach stiff peaks.
- COMBINE THE COMPONENTS: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient bowl and stir together with a rubber spatula. Once the dry ingredients are saturated, add about 1/2 cup of the egg whites into the mixture and stir it in completely to lighten the batter. Next add in 1/2 of the rest of the egg whites and gently fold them in being careful not to deflate them. Add in the rest of the egg whites and fold them in gently until completely combined.
- Bake the cake at 350 F (177 C) for 20-23 minutes until the cake is set and a cake tester comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
- Store uneaten cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

HEAVENLY LIGHT YELLOW CAKE
A very healthy, light cake. A great "treat" for those watching their food intake. I make this cake when I'm really craving something sweet, but can't afford the calories of a typical dessert.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two 9-inch cake pans with wax or parchment paper. Butter the paper and insides of the pans. Lightly flour the pans, tapping out excess flour. Set aside.
- In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the cake flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Once whisked together, sift the dry ingredients into a separate bowl, to remove and small lumps in the cake flour.
- Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Cream the butter and sugar on medium-high speed, until very creamy and pale, at least 3 to 4 minutes. You want to beat it until the sugar starts to melt into the butter, and not feel so grainy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix, scraping down the sides of the bowl. Turn mixer to low speed and add 1/3 of the flour, 1/2 of the buttermilk, 1/3 of the flour, the second 1/2 of the buttermilk, and ending with the last 1/3 of the flour. Stop mixing when the flour is just almost incorporated. Do not overmix!!
- Add the egg whites to a medium bowl. Using a hand whisk, whisk the egg whites until they are soft peaks. Add about 1 cup of the cake batter to the egg whites. Using a spatula, gently fold the two together. Add the egg whites to the bowl of batter. Using a spatula, gently fold them in by running the spatula down the sides of the bowl, under the batter, and back up the sides of the bowl. Repeat until the batter is equally blended.
- Divide the batter equally between the cake pans. Using an offset spatula, smooth the top of the batter in each pan. Do not tap the pans on a counter to remove air bubbles, like you normally would in a regular cake. This will deflate the cake batter.
- Bake the cakes in the center of the oven until a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through.
- Transfer cakes to a wire rack. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Invert the cakes onto a wire rack. Peel off the wax or parchment paper. Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cocoa and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of warm water until the cocoa is dissolved. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla together on medium speed until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Gradually beat in the melted chocolate, followed by the cocoa. Beat until well combined.
- Allow the frosting to stand for 30 minutes before using.
- Using a serrated knife or cake leveler, trim the tops of the cakes to level them if desired.
- Frost the cake and serve. Note: I don't recommend refrigerating this cake if you're using this frosting recipe. The frosting becomes very firm when chilled.
ALL-OCCASION DOWNY YELLOW BUTTER CAKE
If I had to choose among all my cakes, this one would win first place because it is delicious by itself yet versatile enough to accommodate a wide range of buttercreams. The cake combines the soft texture of white cake with the buttery flavor of yellow cake. Using all the yolks instead of whole eggs produces a rich yellow color, fine texture and delicious flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl lightly combine the yolks, 1/4 cup milk, and vanilla.
- In a large mixing bowl combine the dry ingredients and mix on low speed for 30 seconds to blend. Add the butter and the remaining 3/4 cup milk. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened. Increase to medium speed (high speed if using a hand mixer) and beat for 1 1/2 minutes to aerate and develop the cake's structure. Scrape down the sides. Gradually add the egg mixture in 3 batches, beating for 20 seconds after each addition to incorporate the ingredients and strengthen the structure. Scrape down the sides.
- Scrape the batter into the prepared pans and smooth the surface with a spatula. The pans will be about 1/2 full. Bake 25 to 35 minutes or until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed lightly in the center. The cakes should start to shrink from the sides of the pans only after removal from the oven.
- Let the cakes cool in the pan on racks for 10 minutes. Loosen the sides with a small metal spatula and invert onto greased wire racks. To prevent splitting, reinvert so that the tops are up and cool completely before wrapping airtight.
GLUTEN FREE YELLOW CAKE
This is such a great yellow cake! I found this recipe on Allrecipes.com and thought I would share on here. Everyone that has tried this cake has said that they don't know the difference between the gluten free kind and the regular kind! Hope it will help those with those dessert cravings who can't have gluten/wheat!
