Time 1h40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 2/3 cups granulated sugar ((360g))
5 tablespoons vegetable oil ((75 ml))
3 tablespoons butter ((45g, at room temperature))
2 large eggs ((at room temperature))
2 egg yolks ((at room temperature))
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup sour cream ((at room temperature))
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour ((370g))
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric ((optional))
1 1/4 cup buttermilk ((at room temperature))

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch cake pan.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the sugar, vegetable oil, and butter. Cream together at medium speed for 1 minute.
Add the eggs and egg yolks one at a time on low speed. Stir in the vanilla extract until the batter is smooth and incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Next, mix in the sour cream and beat until well-combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and turmeric until thoroughly combined.
Add half the flour mixture, and beat on low speed while pouring in half of the buttermilk and mix just until the flour starts to incorporate. Finally add the remaining flour, mixing on low speed while pouring in the remaining buttermilk and beating until all of the ingredients are combined.
Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir the batter from the bottom to the top to ensure it's well-mixed.
Pour the batter into the greased pan (or pans) evenly and bake at 350°F for 36-40 minutes (or less time for cupcakes), keeping a careful eye on the baking during the last few minutes. Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake--if it comes out clean, the cake is done.
Cool completely and decorate with your choice of frosting.

Tips:

Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a light and airy cake.
Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
Sift the flour and baking powder together before adding them to the batter. This will help ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed and the cake rises evenly.
Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can cause the gluten in the flour to develop too much, resulting in a tough cake.
Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help ensure that the cake rises evenly and does not sink in the middle.
Cool the cake completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet vanilla flavor, and versatile frosting options, the Classic Yellow Cake is a timeless dessert that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are baking it for a special occasion or just because, this cake is sure to be a hit. So preheat your oven and get ready to bake a delicious and classic yellow cake!
