Helpful Tips With Cakes

YELLOW CAKE:

Yellow cake is an old fashion cake that is noted for its moisture and flavor. Yellow cake has

a fairly loose crumb and makes excellent layers, sheets and cupcakes. Yellow cake lends itself

to be a perfect compliment for fruits such as strawberries and bananas. Yellow cake is also

great with cream filling between the layers. Fresh fruit filling combined with a whipped cream

icing makes yellow cake a special treat.

TIPS ON YELLOW CAKE:

Oven temperature is critical for yellow cake baking. Make sure that your oven's internal

Chill your fresh baked yellow cake in the refrigerator, then slice the layers in half. Make your

yellow layer cakes four thin layers instead of two thick ones. You can add more fruit or icing

and the cake will be more moist.

Yellow cake dries out fast. Let the layers cool in a draft free place and ice them as soon as

filling. When your yellow cake must stand alone with only icing, then cake flour is best to use.
