Yellow Cake Made From Scratch
You could go with a boxed cake mix, but a classic homemade yellow cake made from scratch is simple and absolutely delicious.
The traditional recipe is made with basic pantry staples, just like grandma would have used.
It is yummy, when you frost it with my from scratch chocolate buttercream.
But the taste is so good, that you may be tempted to have a slice without any frosting at all.
Enjoy!
