Yellow Cake Recipe

The recipe we used for my daughter's wedding is located at www.foodnetwork.com. It is a Paula Dean recipe for a red velvet cake. We didn't use the red food coloring, instead we used lemon flavoring. Some people said that
it was the best wedding cake that they ever had. Oh yes, we used a white chocolate frosting, also. It was truly fantastic!

I highly recommend the following website: http://www.recipezaar.com I don't happen to have a yellow cake mix recipe. The only difference between a yellow cake mix and a white cake mix is that you use the whole eggs in the yellow and just the egg whites in the white.

You can change the servings and the units in the recipes. You will have to make enough cake mixes to fill your cake pans. If you have excess batter left over, make some cupcakes. Type in the words yellow cake in the search box.
