Yellow Cake from Scratch Yellow Cake from Scratch
#CA2025 I was making a birthday cake and needed a box of yellow cake mix. No yellow cake mix and it is pouring rain so I’m not going out. Yellow cake recipe to the rescue and it is a winner. I wanted a three layer cake and I am not so good with horizontal cutting so I divided the mix to three pans and cut bake time to 18 minutes. cindybear -

Basic Cake Mix, Homemade Basic Cake Mix, Homemade
Back a long, long time ago in 7th grade I had to take what was then called electives. We were only supposed to take it for 9 weeks then change to the next elective. We had home economics, shop, ag or agricultural, and something that slips my mind. Well ag was taken out, teacher quit or something. So I took an extra coarse of home economics. I learned this recipe by heart. Except we had shortening instead of butter.We didn't have ziploc bags we had containers or jars. I can't even remember the teachers name. I got extra credit for going over to make it for the next class after us. The teacher used to make it if there was no time left. Well old memories I am sharing with yall. skunkmonkey101 -

Home made Vanilla Cake 🎂 Home made Vanilla Cake 🎂
#partyfoodI love the 6 inch size for children’s birthday cakes, small gatherings and celebrations, or bridal/baby showers where there’s a lot of other desserts.And when it comes to decorating, 6 inch is a very non-intimidating size cake and I Love vanilla flavour. This 6 inch party cake is complete with easy and simple buttercream flowers so that you can decorate it easily in your home.The cake layers can be baked, cooled, and covered tightly at room temperature overnight.Likewise, the frosting can be prepared then covered and refrigerated overnight. Let the frosting sit at room temperature to slightly soften for 10 minutes before assembling and frosting. Frosted cake or unfrosted cake layers can be frozen up to 2-3 months.Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before decorating/serving. Let's bake 😊 🍰. Bengali Spice 💚 -
