It creates a buttery flavor for yellow cake recipes while playing a role in structure. Butter is also used as the base of the chocolate frosting that tops this cake.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Cream granulated sugar with the butter to aerate the ingredients while adding sweetness for a tender cake crumb.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eggs:<\/strong> Two eggs are added to help make the cake rise while baking.

Use 2% as listed or swap it for whole milk if desired.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confectioners&#8217; sugar:<\/strong> The chocolate frosting for this cake is made with a base of softened butter and confectioners&#8217; sugar.

Plus, you can garnish the cake with freshly sliced strawberries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Add chocolate chips:<\/strong> Want even more chocolate with this cake? Consider mixing mini-chocolate chips into the batter for a fun addition of texture and flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it rainbow:<\/strong> Yellow cakes are often served for birthday parties. Dress up the cake even more with plenty of sprinkles. Add 3\/4 cup of rainbow sprinkles to the batter for a splash of color inside, just like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/confetti-cake-with-brown-sugar-buttercream\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/confetti-cake-with-brown-sugar-buttercream\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Funfetti cake<\/a>!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Yellow Cake<\/h2>\n<p>As with any cake, it&#8217;s best to store this yellow cake in an airtight container, wrapped in plastic wrap or in a resealable plastic bag. An airtight container will help to preserve its texture, moisture and flavor.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does yellow cake last?<\/h3>\n<p>Stored properly, yellow cake will last at room temperature for up to three days. It will last in the fridge for up to a week. You can also store this yellow cake in the freezer for anywhere from three to eight months. Store it in an airtight container or wrap it in a layer of plastic wrap and another layer of foil to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-prevent-freezer-burn\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-prevent-freezer-burn\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prevent freezer burn<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make yellow cake ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>This yellow cake recipe can be made one day ahead of a celebration. Prepare the cake layers only, let them cool and wrap them in plastic wrap for the best results. Make the frosting and assemble the cake before you plan to serve it. You can also bake and frost the whole cake one day ahead of time, storing it under a cake dome on a cake stand if preferred.<\/p>\n<h2>Yellow Cake Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2066824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Yellow-Cake-Recipe_TOHVP24_257223_MF_09_10_1.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Yellow Cake piece on a plate with a fork \" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">TASTE OF HOME<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How do you know when a cake is done baking?<\/h3>\n<p>One of the keys to baking a successful cake is making sure it&#8217;s done before pulling it out of the oven. The toothpick test can help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cake-doneness-tests\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/cake-doneness-tests\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">check for doneness<\/a>. Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake once the timer goes off. If the toothpick comes out clean, it&#8217;s ready to pull out of the oven. If the toothpick is still wet with batter, the cake needs a few additional minutes of baking time.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make yellow cake in a different pan?<\/h3>\n<p>This cake recipe can absolutely be made in another pan. For a sheet cake, use a 13&#215;9-inch pan. You could also use this recipe to make a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-a-bundt-cake-that-doesnt-stick-in-the-pan\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-a-bundt-cake-that-doesnt-stick-in-the-pan\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bundt cake<\/a>.

Use this recipe to make 24 cupcakes instead of a cake. Bake the cupcakes in a 350\u00b0 oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Let them cool, and top with chocolate frosting and sprinkles. <span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">1445265<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A yellow cake recipe is a staple for any home baker.
