And, for the same reason, I added a little salt. Vanilla cake doesnt have the same rules to follow. I swapped out the milk and called in coffee, which intensifies the chocolate flavor and balances all the sweetness. Yellow cake uses whole eggs and butter to give it that classic yellow color. (Thanks, Kristen!)īecause I can’t help it, I made a few little adjustments: I increased the quantities originally recommended for a double-layer cake because there’s nothing more stressful than worrying about running out of frosting. “ This one, adapted from Hershey’s Perfect Chocolate Cake, is excellent and the closest facsimile to canned frosting,” she discovered. Her mom always used canned frosting on top, so Kristen set out to find a from-scratch doppelgänger: (Hehe.) Our Genius Creative Director Kristen Miglore recently introduced us to her family-famous Fudgy Cream Cheese Chocolate Cake. We just needed frosting-but this turned out to be a piece of cake. Add one egg at a time, mixing after each egg. Withe the mixer on low, pour in the water and oil, mixing until incorporated. In the bowl of your stand mixer add the homemade cake mix. Many, many cakes later, all of this added up to a yellow-as-ever cake that is buttery-rich and vanilla-forward and, above all, “deliciously moist.” Just like Duncan. Generously grease two 9-inch cake pans with butter and dust with flour, tapping out any excess flour. I added a pinch of turmeric for color (don’t worry, you can’t taste it), just enough to give “Yellow 5 Lake” a run for its money. I dropped some of the oil and replaced it with butter and blended that butter into the flour. I doubled the quantities to fit into two pans. I took Jessie’s recipe as a foundation and adjusted it with a boxed-style layer cake in mind. The only catch was, I couldn’t stop thinking about this other yellow cake-with a totally different approach-Jessie Sheehan’s Caramelized Banana Upside-Down Cake, a recent recipe contest winner. When I set out to re-create the yellow cake that got away, I knew this approach would be key. This goes against almost every other cake recipe in Scratch’s repertoire. Start with the dry ingredients, blend in the butter, and then add the wet ingredients, like buttermilk, eggs, egg yolks, and oil. Turns out that subbing 1/4 cup of oil for. The recipe calls for butter and oil-and you add these at two separate times. I tweaked this cake a bit for a softer cake rather than the dense version most yellow cake recipes will give you. But the staff was just as obsessed with the yellow cake recipe. Scratch, a bakery in Durham, N.C., was known for its flaky-as-heck pies. I recognized this method from somewhere else: my last job.
