Yellow Cake

This is a good basic yellow cake for doing something else with, like frosting or strawberry short cake. It's not quite exceptional enough to stand on its own. It takes only one bowl - all ingredients are dumped in one, stir, bake. I used cake flour, and substituted margarine for the shortening. Maybe that, and the fact that I mixed it for more than 30 seconds, might account for why it is not as moist as I like. I think next time I'd add more butter and vanilla, give it a little more flavor. But it's a good basic yellow cake and certainly easy enough to make.

during a time when I was very pressed for time , I chose this recipe mainly because it was "simple" and "delicious". At first I was a little hesitant , but I followed the instructions to the letter anyway. When it came out of the oven it stuck t the pan. It was TERRIBLE! What about some water?

This was VERY simple, very quick and VERY good! My oven is a little on the hot side, so my cakes were done about 10 minutes early. So be advised to check your cake after about 30 minutes if you're not sure about how your oven works. Thanks! Yellow cake is my husband's favorite!

Excellent cake. I would like to omit the shortening and use all butter. I don't like shortening and all butter will add more flavor. Thank you for posting this recipe
