Yellow Cake Recipe

While a White cake got a front seat at weddings and came to be known as white wedding cake, the yellow cake is mostly popular for other special occasions such as Anniversaries.

 Just as a white cake is made with more egg whites; the yellow cake is made with more egg yolks. The yellow color in the yolks gives the cake its name yellow cake.



Years ago when I use to help my godmother make this cake, I clearly remember she use to use all egg yolks and buy the eggs for a special source that had home grown chickens resulting in beautiful dark yellow yolks.

You also gets some butters that have a nice bright yellow color that can be used.



I personally like to use a good combination of whole eggs in my cakes. Therefore, I prefer to use some egg white as well with the eggs yolks here.. I  think it adds lightness to the cake. You may choose to use all yolks if you please.
