TENDER, MOIST YELLOW CAKE FROM SCRATCH.



Tender, Moist Yellow Cake from Scratch. image

I had trouble with yellow cakes coming out mealy and dry, (like a dry, oily cornbread texture) then I found this recipe in July 2008 Gourmet magazine. It's simple, easy, and the texture is, well, like cake ought to be - moist and tender. All that and delicious too! Don't over beat or it will be tough and try to start out with the ingredients at or near room temperature. Of course, you can make this into cupcakes or 13 x 9, just adjust the baking time. It's done when a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean. I'll never go back to the box mixes!

MOIST YELLOW CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Moist Yellow Cake Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by kelsa94

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 3/4 cups Baker's Special or granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
3 tablespoons Instant ClearJel or cornstarch
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 cups whole milk, room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour (or line with parchment) two 9-inch round pans; three 8-inch round pans; or one 9- x 13-inch pan. Or have on hand two muffin tins lined with cupcake papers; grease the insides of the papers. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, and salt until fluffy. Beat in the oil and vanilla; then the eggs, one at a time, beating until each egg completely disappears before adding the next one. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, Instant ClearJel, and baking powder. Add 1/3 of this mixture to the mixing bowl, mixing until it disappears. Beat in half the milk. Scrape the bowl, then mix in another third of the dry ingredients. Mix in the remaining milk, scraping the bowl. Stir in the remaining dry ingredients, scraping the bowl. Mix for one minute more. For layers, divide the dough evenly between the pans. You can do this by scooping the batter alternately into the pans, or by weighing it (see notes). Bake the cupcakes for 27 to 30 minutes; the 9- x 13-inch cake for 32 to 34 minutes, and the layers for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove them from the oven and place them on a rack to cool. For cupcakes, remove them from the pan as soon as you're able, and return to the rack to finish cooling. A 9- x 13-inch cake can be cooled completely in the pan. For layers, use a table knife to free the edge of the cake from each pan as soon as you place it on the rack, so it'll contract evenly as it cools. Remove from the pans after 15 minutes, and return to the rack to finish cooling completely before frosting. Yield: two 9-inch layers, 24 cupcakes, or one 9- x 13-inch cake. Notes: To weigh out batter for layers: This recipe yields 3 pounds, 3 1/2 ounces of batter, which means each layer gets 1 pound, 9 ounces before baking (there'll be a little bit of loss from batter sticking to the bowl and scraper). This cake is excellent paired with Super Simple Chocolate Frosting. For a really tall cake, cut each completely cool 9" layer in half horizontally; this will give you four layers (and more frosting) for a lofty presentation

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Always gather and measure all ingredients before starting to bake. This will ensure that you have everything you need and prevent any scrambling during the process.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will yield the best results in terms of flavor and texture. If possible, use organic or high-quality ingredients.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Baking is a science, and it's important to follow the recipe precisely. Do not substitute ingredients or change the measurements unless you know exactly what you're doing.
  • Pay attention to the temperature: The temperature of your oven and your ingredients is crucial for the success of your cake. Make sure that your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking and that your ingredients are at room temperature unless otherwise specified in the recipe.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix only until the ingredients are combined.
  • Test for doneness: Before taking the cake out of the oven, insert a toothpick or cake tester into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a little longer.

Conclusion:

With a little care and attention, you can easily create a moist, delicious yellow cake that will be a hit with family and friends. Remember to use fresh ingredients, follow the recipe carefully, and pay attention to the temperature of your oven and your ingredients. With a little practice, you'll be baking perfect yellow cakes like a pro!
