While box mixes can be easier, the flavor and texture just don&#8217;t compare to the homemade version.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This yellow cake recipe is made completely from scratch and beats anything that you can bake from a box. In fact, I tested this cake side by side with a box mix. Both cakes were soft and fluffy, but the homemade cake was richer and much more flavorful!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To keep this cake as classic as possible, I topped it with a homemade chocolate frosting.

But I wanted to touch on a few important ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cake Flour: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I prefer to use cake flour in most of my cake recipes because it makes them softer and fluffier. If you can&#8217;t find any or don&#8217;t have any on hand, then you can use my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/homemade-cake-flour\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cake flour substitute here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Danish Creamery European Style Unsalted Butter: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;ve been following me for a while, then you know I&#8217;m a huge fan of <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/danishcreamery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Danish Creamery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">! Their butter has an 85% butterfat, which is higher than most other European style butters. The higher butterfat makes it perfect for cakes and also creates an ultra-creamy buttercream frosting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Oil: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The butter adds flavor and richness to the cake, while the oil helps to keep it moist and prevent it from drying out. It&#8217;s best to stick with a neutral-flavored oil like canola or vegetable oil, but melted coconut oil will work too.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Egg Yolks &amp; Egg Whites: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The egg yolks are what give this classic cake its signature yellow color and the egg whites are whipped separately to make it fluffier. You will need a total of 6 large egg yolks and 4 large egg whites to make this cake. I recommend separating the yolks and whites before you get started to make things easier. You can save the two leftover egg whites and use them in an omelet or another recipe like my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/candied-pecans\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">candied pecans<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular tiled-gallery-unresized\" data-original-width=\"500\" data-carousel-extra='null' itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageGallery\" > <div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 500px;

Increase the mixer to medium speed and continue mixing for another 4 to 5 minutes or until the mixture is light and fluffy like the picture above on the left.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mix in the egg yolks: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I recommend mixing them in one at a time, making sure to stop and scrape around the bottom and sides of the bowl once or twice.

I also used Danish Creamery&#8217;s European style unsalted butter for the frosting. It&#8217;s made with high-quality cream, which gives the frosting a smooth, velvety texture. I use their butter in all of my cakes, including this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/strawberry-cake\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">homemade strawberry cake<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/italian-cream-cake\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Italian cream cake<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The flavor can&#8217;t be beat!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the butter is smooth, mix in the powdered sugar. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl, then add the cocoa powder and mix until fully combined. Lastly, mix in the milk, vanilla extract, and salt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the frosting is done, you can assemble your cake. I like to use about \u00be cup of frosting in between each cake layer, then use the rest to frost the outside of the cake. To keep things simple, I just used an angle spatula to spread the frosting and the back of a spoon to swirl it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-25863\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Yellow-Cake-Recipe-10.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A slice of yellow cake on a white speckled plate.

However, this cake would taste great with another flavor like my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-make-buttercream-frosting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vanilla buttercream<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/chocolate-cream-cheese-frosting\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">chocolate cream cheese frosting<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.livewellbakeoften.com\/how-to-make-chocolate-ganache\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">whipped chocolate ganache<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How long will it stay fresh?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This yellow cake may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 4 days. While it&#8217;s not necessary to refrigerate this cake, it will stay fresher longer if you do.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For longer storage, I recommend freezing the cake. The cake layers and frosting will freeze well for up to 3 months, just thaw them to room temperature before assembling the cake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also freeze the frosted cake (whole or sliced), just be sure to wrap it tightly with plastic wrap, and store it in a large freezer bag or freezer-safe storage container.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I bake this cake in a different pan?<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Absolutely!
