Nickey's Simple Yellow Cake image

An easy, very basic cake; I don't think you can hurt it. I've tried it with different extracts, alone and in combination, with candie sprinkles in it, and with cookie crumbs (Nickey's icebox butter cookie) layered on the bottom, incorporated within, and sprinkled on top ... all turned out fine:) Thinking of trying it without the pudding mix to see how that turns out.

I made a gluten-free version of this cake using a gluten-free flour blend. It turned out just as delicious as the original. My gluten-intolerant friends and family were thrilled to finally enjoy a homemade yellow cake.

I made a few tweaks to lighten up the recipe. I used whole wheat flour, reduced the sugar, and added some Greek yogurt. The result was a healthier version of this classic cake that still tasted amazing. A guilt-free indulgence!
