Fluffy yellow layer cake from The Perfect Cake: Your Ultimate Guide to Foolproof Classic, Unique, and Modern Cakes for Any Occasion (page 32) by America's Test Kitchen Editors

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

    This cake was so simple to whip up. Soft and fluffy as well. I used a square cake pan so I was able to make (2) 8x8x1 layers. The recipe has measurements for 8 and 9 inch round pans so you’ll have to do some conversion if you want to use anything else. Again, super simple with a great flavor payoff. I will add this to my rotation. Another hit from this book!!

    This made a very nice moist cake but wasn't as yellow as the picture. I certainly would use the recipe again
