When it comes to birthday cakes, we often choose what we’re most familiar with. Those are the cake flavors we grew up having for every childhood birthday, and for many, a yellow cake is at the top of the list. Whether it was from our favorite boxed cake mixes<\/a> or Mom made the ultimate homemade cake<\/a>, that bright yellow cake with chocolate buttercream frosting has been a classic combination for decades. This yellow cake recipe is simple to make at home with staple baking ingredients. It’s not the same as a white or vanilla cake<\/a>, though it is similar. Yellow cake has more of a buttery, rich flavor and a tender crumb thanks to the butter and egg yolks.<\/p>\n
