Yellow cake from How to Bake Everything: Simple Recipes for the Best Baking (page 211) by Mark Bittman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute all-purpose flour for cake flour.

    I've never made yellow cake before. This was a bit dry but I probably overbaked. My sheet pan was dark so I used a lower oven temp, but then the middle wasn't done at 25 min, so I went about 14 min longer! I also used regular AP flour instead of cake flour. This takes 8 egg yolks! I'd probably try a different recipe next time I'm making yellow cake. Perhaps Sally's Baking Addiction.
