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!
1. Allow butter and eggs to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. Grease and flour two 9x1 1/2-inch or 8x1 1/2-inch round cake pans or grease one 13x9x2-inch baking pan; set aside. In a bowl stir together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 375F. in a mixing bowl beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar,beating until well combined. Beat 2 minutes more. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Alternate add flour mixture and milk, beating on low speed after each addition just until combined. Spread batter into prepared pan(s).
3. Bake for 20 minutes to 25 minutes for the 9-inch pans, 30 minutes for 8-inch pans, 25 to 30 minutes for 13x9x2-inch pan, or until a wooden toothpick inserted near center(s) comes out clean. Cool cake layers in pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove layers from pans; cool thoroughly on racks. Or place 139x2-inch cake in pan on wire rack; cool thoroughly. Frost with desired frosting.
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.

Request: Yellow Cake Recipe (02/22/2010)
Does anyone have a slightly easy recipe for yellow cake? None of my cookbooks have it, and I am running out of patience with brand name cooking websites.

Request: Yellow Cake Recipe
Archived on 02/22/2010
Does anyone have a slightly easy recipe for yellow cake? None of my cookbooks have it, and I am running out of patience with brand name cooking websites. I think they want me to buy cake mix instead. It is for my son's first birthday. Actually, I was thinking of marble cake. I want to make him a duck shaped cake, so I would like the yellow cake for the white frosting.
Thanks. Kelly from Willamina, OR

RE: Yellow Cake Recipe
BUTTER CAKE.....old family recipe
Ingredients:
8 oz butter or margarine
1 good cup (8 oz) castor sugar
4 eggs (only 3 if they are very large)
3 cups (12 oz) self-raising flour
3/4 cup of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Time: 45 minutes-1 hour at 350-375 degrees F
Method:
Line and butter a deep 8-inch cake tin and set oven temperature at moderate. Cream butter and sugar until light, white, and fluffy. Add beaten eggs, beating well after each addition (if it starts separating just add a spoonful of the flour and then continue with the next egg). Sift the flour and fold in gently, alternately with the milk. Lastly add vanilla essence. Place mixture into the prepared cake tin, smooth over the top and bake for approximately 1 hour or until cooked. The cake should shrink from the sides of the tin when cooked. Cool on a wire rack before icing. Absolutely yummy and sure beats those packet mixes. Enjoy.
