MOIST YELLOW LAYER CAKE

Steps:

• Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• 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 with flour.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 pans flat onto counter several times to ensure release of any air bubbles. This will help you 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.
• Buttercream: Using a mixer, cream softened butter and vanilla until smooth.
• Add sugar gradually, allowing butter and sugar to cream together before adding more.
• If you want your frosting a little creamier, add a teaspoon of milk at a time and beat on high until you get the right consistency.
• Then, just use icing colors to 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 a three-layer. But, I like a lot of frosting.
• 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 your spray bottle, spray top of layer several times with simple syrup**; enough to give it a little moisture. Be careful - don't add too much.
• Add a layer of frosting to your bottom layer. Repeat on second and third layers.Frost the sides.

HOMEMADE YELLOW CAKE MIX

Steps:

• For the cake mix: Whisk together the flour, sugar, dry milk, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Store in a resealable bag in a cool dry place for up to 3 months until ready to use.
• To bake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two 9-inch cake pans with parchment. Coat with cooking spray.
• Whisk 1 1/4 cup water, oil, eggs and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined and slightly frothy. Add the dry mix and whisk vigorously until well combined and smooth, about 50 strokes. Divide between the prepared cake pans. Bake until lightly golden and slightly puffed and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool in the pans 5 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack right-side up to cool completely. Frost and decorate as desired.
• For cupcakes: Place liners in pans for 24 cupcakes. Fill each cup 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees F until golden, puffed and a toothpick comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Cool completely before frosting as desired.

• Add whole eggs in the same manner, allowing 1 minute between additions. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle.

THE PERFECT MOIST YELLOW CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 3 (8-inch) cake pans. NOTE: For cupcakes, this recipe makes 2 dozen cupcakes; fill the cupcake liners to half way only. (I speak from a messy experience) 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 with flour. Add vanilla and butter flavoring to mix; until just mixed. Divide batter equally into three cake pans (or I use a mini-bundt pan or cupcakes are fine, too) Hold each layer about 3 inches above your counter and carefully drop the pans flat onto counter several times to ensure release of any air bubbles. This will help you have a more level cake. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes (depending on your oven) until done. For cupcakes or mini bundts, baking time is between 12 to 18 minutes. Check for a light golden color and use a toothpick for doneness. If a few crumbs stick to the toothpick, it's baked. If the toothpick comes out with dough, bake for a few more minutes. Cool in pans for 5 to 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. Tips for a moist layer cake: Here's 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 your spray bottle, spray top of layer several times; enough to give it a little moisture. Be careful - don't add too much. Add a layer of frosting to your bottom layer. Repeat on second and third layers. Frost the sides.
