I have made this cake three times, each time it came out equally divine. I then found out, after using 4 other recipes, that DIVINE is basically the case for every recipe. This channel is my go-to for everything baking related, I don't even think about going anywhere else. you da bomb :) :)
Some history: I tried making this cake three times since 2014. Not that often but still it failed and sunk in the middle. I see you put notes on your blog about how to fix this and I wanted to share that new bakers have no idea that they are overmixing the flour into the batter. Mixing the flour into the wet ingredient should be mixed JUST UNTIL INCORPORATED. I actually turned off my mixer and used a rubber spatula instead of the mixer for half of the mixing. Then I GENTLY folded the egg whites into the mixture using the "souffle" folding method. You don't mix the egg whites in but you turn the bowl and gently fold it in...Several videos show you how to do this the right way. I believeyou show this too but this step cannot be understated. You mix the eggs in JUST until you do not see the egg white streaks anymore. Chef John shows how to do it wonderfully in this video at the 4:53 mark: www.allrecipes.com/video/7318/chef-johns-chocolate-souffle I did all of this today and... the cake came out DELICIOUS. I'm not kidding; It's mind blowing how soft and moist and flavorful this crazy cake is ma'am. Wow. I'm in trouble now because I'll be wanting to make this all the time. I hope that any reader that has tried and failed this cake tries again and somehow finds this comment. I would hate for ANYone to miss out on literally the best cake I think I have ever tasted. Thank you for sharing. Edit: I also bought premium flour, eggs, milk and bought new baking powder, however, I'm fairly sure it was because I overmixed the batter and did not fold in the eggs whites properly.
I am a visual person so I love that you show cutting your cake with a knife and a fork. I see how moist all your cakes turn out. I made several of ur cake recipes and they all turned out so good.
Hey Chicky!!! So, I made this cake, yesterday, and I didn't cut it until today. I didn't taste the batter, but I had read some of the comments and I only used 1 1/2 cups of sugar..I want to tell you,,this is my first Scratch Yellow Cake, and it is 'OFF THE CHAIN'!!! I made it for an ol friend of mine, she and her son say that Yellow Cake w/ Chocolate icing is their Fav,,,,,,So I took it to them today, they sliced it, They said 'mmmmm', with closed eyes!!! Still, I didn't taste it, just wanted to see their reaction. I cut my self a small slice and brought it home..'JUST TASTED IT,,AND IT'S ON LIKE HOT BUTTERED POPCORN' LOL,,,t THANK YOU
My favorite cake ever.... and it came out moist and delicious!! I also made your chocolate frosting.. but replaced one stick of butter with equal cream cheese and milk chocolate chips. THANK YOU for your great recipes!🤗
I've tried this recipe twice and it is scrumptious, nothing like a boxed cake mix! There's just something so light and classic about this cake, totally worth the time to make it
I can't thank you ENOUGH for this AMAZING recipe!! My husband and I killed this cake. I've made cakes before and we never finish them. WE FINISHED THIS ONE! Stay fantastic!
I just made this cake and the frosting...let me tell you...my husband says "Damn that's good...this is the best frosting you ever made!"...girl he got a big spoonful and sat on the couch to eat it..the cake wasn't even ready yet..when the cake was ready he was picking off the sides...my 4 yr old daughter licked the bowl, the spatula, the melted chips...and when she had her slice of cake she did her humming thing that she does when something tastes good..my 10 yr old son stayed up past his bedtime to get his cake..thank you for this awesome recipe!! Mrs Diva rocks y'all!!!!!
This is by far the best cake I have ever made! I make it for my family all the time and it comes out perfect every time! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. You got me feeling like a black Betty Crocker lol.
Thanks so much for trying it out! Out of all of the recipes I have on my site, this one gives people the most trouble. It always comes out great for me though!
I did see you mentioned that on your blog. But I follow all the steps the only thing I do different is a substitute(whole milk and 3 tsp of lemon juice) for the butter milk because I never have any when I need it lol. And I normally leave it in about 10 mins longer but I think thats because of my oven. But it is perfect every time! This cake is BLESSED LOL!
whaaat. this is literally the 3rd cake I ever baked (I was 16 then) and it came out so perfect. better than any store bought cake. fluffiest sponges I ever saw
Did you read my mind? I have been looking forever for a moist yellow cake recipe! Ah, I'm so excited to try this out. Oh kudos for baking a cake and holding your baby. Mommy multitasking at its finest!
I made this cake today and the chocolate buttercream frosting...it turned out AMAZING!! My kids love it! Thank you for such a delicious cake and frosting recipe!!
I made this cake and it was a hit. didn't use the sprinkles but with the frosting I added a little mint flavoring it gave you a fresh breath of air and tasted GREAT. Thanks Diva
This is the best fluffy cake recipe ever! Sooooo soft and everyone thought it was from the box. But no, it was made from scratch! I usually don't like making cakes cause they're just so dense and chewy, but I loved this recipe!
One of the best tasting cakes I've tasted! Delicious!!! And the whipped chocolate buttercream was too good, I couldn't stop eating with a spoon. I ended up not having enough to frost the cake. :( lol I would love to see your version of a homemade strawberry cake please!
Hey Monique! I just have to say that I have tried SO many recipes for a good vanilla cake, and this was the first one to turn out PERFECT! Every time I try, they end up being too dense and burned on the outside and raw in the middle at the same time. But with this one, it came out AHH MAYY ZING! It tasted so buttery and rich and sweet, and it was so moist and SO FLUFFY! Usually, I would do a box cake because cakes from scratch are so hard, but this one is fantastic! Thanks girl😀
+Jazzipersun This isn't a vanilla cake; it's a yellow cake. A vanilla cake is made with egg whites, no egg yolks and have a different texture and color. Either way I'm glad the cake turned out! I plan to try it out for Thanksgiving!
I just have to say, I have made this cake and, my oven is jacked up! This cake still came out moist. This recipe is the bomb. My new go to recipe for yellow cakes. I know I'm late,but I still enjoy your videos ☺
It's a yellow cake. A vanilla cake is made with only egg whites, and there are other differences. No matter though haha. I'm glad you liked this cake because I am thinking about trying out this recipe!
I made this with my friend and it was so fluffy and moist and delicious it was gone within 24hrs in my house if you want a easy cake to make this is the definition of easy.... thanks Monique I love is recipe I will defiantly try this again and also I didn't have any buttermilk so I used milk but still turned out delicious
I absolutely love your recipes! You've helped me out so much, because a year ago I could barely make tacos (I know so simple) lol! Now I have a passion for cooking and your videos/blogs really inspired me! Thank you!
This is the most amazing yellow cake ever -- it tastes like the best birthday cake from my childhood, only better. I can see why it won Pancake Princess's yellow cake bake off. I am a supertaster who has been looking for the best yellow cake, since it is one of my favorite things of all time, I'm known as being extremely picky too -- this recipe was exactly what I was looking for. I am a beginner baker, so my first attempt at the cake wasn't perfect but it was still delicious, particularly the next day. Mine was slightly underbaked, and a bit sunk in the center likely due to 1) being slightly underbaked lol, 2) my inexperience with the egg whites (I tried to very carefully fold them in) or 3) due to overmixing the flour (I should have used a spatula and hand mixed by that point), but it was still divine. Oh my gosh. I have never eaten a yellow cake so good. I know I'll do even better next time and hopefully perfect this amazing recipe. Thank you so much !
Monique this worked out so perfectly. First time I ever tried a birthday cake! This is like my go to recipe now :))) measurements worked perfectly I'm so happy!
love love your video, am so making this cake this weekend, I love your blog because of the videos, it makes it easier to fix a recipe seeing it and your fun to watch...you make is look so easy it makes me want to bake
So am I able to use all purpose flour in place of cake flour... I'm SO SO SO glad I found you, I'm starting my cake journey and have had a lil trouble perfecting my recipes, but I think I might just use yours!

'll just eat this without the frosting -- I can tell how moist it is in the video!
Wonderful job Monique!
