Birthday Cake (Yellow Cake)

May 17, 2024

We all have the ideal “go-to” cake recipe when we need to bake a cake for someone, right? Well, at least I do. So here is a recipe that will make the most delicious cake.

I’m posting the recipe in grams because it’s the most accurate for it.

Birthday Cake (Yellow Cake) with a slice cut out

Prep Time:15 minutes

Cook Time:40-50 minutes

Total Time:1 hour and 5 minutes

Ingredients for the cake batter:
  • 221g all purpose flour
  • 272g cake flour
  • 17g baking powder
  • 476g sugar
  • 6g salt
  • 250g butter
  • 187g eggs
  • 545g milk
  • 6g vanilla

Instructions:

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350F(176C)

Step 2

Mix room temperature butter, sugar & salt in a mixing bowl.

Step 3

Once you get a creamy/ fluffy consistency add your dry ingredients (the flour, cake flour, and baking powder).

Step 4

Look out for a sand like texture and add a little bit of your milk and eggs. (Not all at once). Keep going until you get this silky light consistency.

Step 5

Once the batter is all done, it’s up to you if you would like to add a tablespoon of cocoa powder to make it a bit chocolatey. (if not, skip this step).

Step 7

Add the batter into an oiled baking pan and bake until completely cooked and a toothpick will come out clean.

Step 8

Once the cake is cool completely, you can either cut it to get two layers or keep it whole.

Step 9

Decorate for your liking (I used a normal buttercream recipe and assembled it all once it was completely cooled!!!) and enjoy!
