Moist Yellow Buttermilk Cake From Scratch With Pudding Cool Whip Recipe 455 Food

MOIST YELLOW BUTTERMILK CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 9" round cake pans and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yolks, 1/3 cups buttermilk and the vanilla, set aside.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer combine the flour, salt, baking soda and sugar. Blend for 30 seconds on low speed. Next add softened butter and remaining buttermilk. Once mixture is combined, mix for 2 minutes to fully incorporate. Add the egg mixture in 3 batches, scraping after each addition.
• Divide the batter equally into 2 prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center pulls out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Remove the cakes to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing the cakes from the pans and cooling completely on the rack.
• While the cakes are cooling, combine the whipped topping with the milk and vanilla. Add the instant pudding mix and beat on high speed for about 5 minutes until thick and creamy.
• When the cakes have cooled, spread 1 cup of icing on only the top surface of the first cake. Place the second cake on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining icing. Cut the cake into large slices and enjoy!

YELLOW BIRTHDAY CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease two 9-inch cake pans, line with parchment paper rounds (see #6 in Cake Baking Tips), then grease the parchment paper. Parchment paper helps the cakes seamlessly release from the pans. I recommend using nonstick spray for greasing.
• Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed for 3 full minutes. The creamed butter and sugar will be extra creamy. Scrape down the sides and up the bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Turn the mixer down to medium-high speed and beat in the 4 egg yolks one at a time, letting each egg yolk fully mix into the batter before adding the next. Beat in the vanilla extract until combined.
• Add about 1/3 of the dry ingredients and 1/2 of the buttermilk and beat on low speed until combined. Add 1/3 more of the dry ingredients and the rest of the buttermilk and beat on low speed until combined. Add the rest of the dry ingredients and beat on low speed until combined. The batter is very thick. You may need to whisk it all by hand to make sure there are no lumps at the bottom of the bowl.
• Using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar together on high speed until fluffy peaks form, about 3 minutes. See photo and video above for a visual. Slowly and gently fold the egg whites into the thick cake batter. Avoid over-mixing as you don't want to deflate the egg whites.
• Pour/spoon batter evenly into cake pans.
• Bake for around 27-31 minutes or until the cakes are baked through. After about 18 minutes, tent the cakes with aluminum foil to prevent the tops and sides from over-browning. To test the cakes for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, it's done. The cakes may look a little spongey on top as a result of the whipped egg whites. (That's normal!)
• Allow cakes to cool completely in the pans set on a wire rack. The cakes must be completely cool before frosting and assembling.
• With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder, 3 Tablespoons heavy cream, salt, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to high speed and beat for 1 full minute. Do not over-whip. Add 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder if frosting is too thin or 1-2 more Tablespoons of cream if frosting is too thick. (I usually add 1 more.) Taste. Add another pinch of salt if desired.
• If cooled cakes are domed on top, use a large serrated knife to slice a thin layer off the tops to create a flat surface. This is called "leveling" the cakes. Discard or crumble over finished cake (or on ice cream!). Place 1 cake layer on your cake stand or serving plate. Evenly cover the top with frosting. Top with 2nd layer. (If desired, if the edges seem extra crumbly, apply a crumb coat which is a thin layer of frosting all over the cake. You can see I did this in the video tutorial above. Refrigerate the crumb coated cake for 15 minutes before adding the rest of the frosting.) Spread remaining frosting all over the top and sides. I always use an icing spatula and/or a bench scraper for the frosting. Garnish with sprinkles, if desired.
• For extra neat slices, refrigerate cake for 30-60 minutes before slicing. This helps the cake hold its shape when cutting.
• Cover leftover cake tightly and store at room temperature for up to 1 day or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

MOIST YELLOW BUTTERMILK CAKE FROM SCRATCH WITH PUDDING & COOL WHIP RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Butter and flour two 9" round cake pans and set aside. Sift the flour, salt, soda and baking powder into a medium-sized bowl and set aside. In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, vegetable oil, sugar and vanilla. Beat in 1 egg at a time, fully incorporating the first egg before adding the next. Add approximately ⅓ of the dry ingredients, stir to combine then add ½ of the buttermilk and repeat the process, ending with the final ⅓ of the dry ingredients. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure all ingredients are completely combined. Divide the batter equally into 2 prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center pulls out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Remove the cakes to a cooling rack and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing the cakes from the pans and cooling completely on the rack. While the cakes are cooling, whip the Cool Whip together with the milk and vanilla. Add the instant pudding mix and beat on high speed for about 5 minutes until thick and creamy. When the cakes have cooled, spread ¾ cup icing on only the top surface of the first cake. Place the second cake on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining icing. Cut the cake into large slices and enjoy! Note: Melted, rather than softened, butter can cause holes to form in your cake, known as 'tunneling.' It is best to set your butter out to allow it to reach room temperature on its own.

MOIST YELLOW CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x13 inch pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.

GRANDMA'S MOIST CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 8 inch pans.
• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Combine the milk and vanilla, add alternately to the creamed mixture with the flour, ending with the flour. Mix only as much as necessary. Pour into the prepared pans.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cake will pull away from the sides of the pan slightly when done. Allow cakes to cool in the pans for a few minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.

PERFECTED YELLOW CAKE

Steps:

• To prep, whisk together the milk and sour cream together in a liquid measure and let come to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and make sure an oven rack is placed in the middle of the oven.
• In a large bowl of an electric stand mixer or with a handheld electric mixer, whip the butter on medium speed for 1-2 minutes. Add the granulated sugar and beat for 4-5 minutes on medium speed. Mix in the vanilla.
• One at a time, add the eggs and egg yolks, mixing just until combined in between additions. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Combine the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sift them together through a fine mesh strainer.
• Add 1/3 of the dry ingredients to the batter and mix just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add 1/2 of the milk/sour cream mixture and mix. Add another 1/3 of the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Add the last 1/2 of the milk/sour cream mixture and beat until just combined. Add the final 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix just until combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary. Give the batter one good, final stir with the rubber spatula.
• Grease the cake pans and line the bottoms with a parchment round. Grease the parchment and sides of the pan again very well. I use regular cooking spray but you can also use butter or cooking spray with flour. If your cake pans tend to cause sticking, consider also flouring the pans.
• Divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Drop each pan from about 3-inches onto the counter to minimize air bubbles while baking.
• Bake for 25-28 minutes (high altitude: 28-30 minutes) until lightly golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with moist crumbs. Resist the urge to open and close the oven to check on the cake - this can cause the center of the cake to fall and never recover. And as with all cakes, don't overbake or the cake will be dry.
• Let the cakes rest in the pans for 5-10 minutes before gently turning them onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
