I’m a cake artist and have been searching for the “to die for” yellow cake recipe. I can’t wait to try this one

Chocolate cake is my first choice, but this looks pretty darn tasty! It just might be able to knock chocolate off it’s pedestal. (I just came over from Love and Lemons) I’ll be back for sure!

My sister and I came across this post and couldn’t wait to make it! We have made it twice and both times it has been disappointing. The cakes are so dense they almost seem like flourless cakes. (There are no instructions for high altitude, which could possibly explain some of our issues.) We tried it the first time using the ‘adapted for cups’ measurements and it wasn’t good. The second time we invested in a kitchen scale to be able to weigh the dry ingredients. Still not knocking our socks off. There are discrepancies in the recipe, such as the Italian meringue frosting calling for vanilla bean paste and vanilla extract, but never saying when to add it. It tastes fine, but certainly not the best yellow butter cake. I SOOOO wish it were

Hi Jeff, I order my vanilla bean paste from Amazon (the biggest bottle I can find), but I’ve seen it for sale at my local cooking supply store as well as Williams Sonoma, etc. Once I discovered vanilla bean paste, I don’t know how I ever lived without it. It is AMAZING!!

This looks great! Do you have any difficulty finding vanilla bean paste?

Sara, I had to take half of it to Walt’s parents’ store just to get it out of my sight, and I had to invite all my nearby friends over to eat the rest! (It didn’t take too much convincing…)

You don’t have to twist my arm very hard to convince me to make a raspberry-filled white cake; I’m sure there is a friend’s birthday coming up sooner or later! I’ll keep you posted…
