Favorite White/Yellow Cake

[wanderingkind]

The cake looks really good and all the reviews sound excellent, but when I made it, it turned out cakey and dense, almost like a quiche. (Which I figured was cause I used brown sugar.)

But when I tried again, the outside was crispy, but the inside looked the same as before. (This time I used regular sugar.) Also, it tasted kind of eggy. Did this happen to anyone else/would anyone happen to have any suggestions?

Mine came out delicious. For the sugar I used turbinado and I didn't sift at all. I ended up making rainbow cupcakes with my granddaughter.

Great Cake!!!   I added a ripe banana and some allspice (or was it nutmeg)  It came out dense and delicious.  My  husband who would'nt touch anything vegan if his life depended on it, ATE IT ALL.  and has been begging me for more.  I doubled the recipe and added walnuts this time....its baking right now.   A+

The only problem I had with this was the fact that I halved the recipe to make a few "trial" cupcakes... and I ate them all in one sitting! This is definitely one I'll be trying again soon.

Mmmmm, I made this for my husband who is wheat gluten intollerant, so i used spelt flour instead of regular flour (we are still experimenting with what hurts and what doesn't) and he loved it! I think it turned out to be very moist and not too sweet. I didn't add the lemon just because I knew I was making frosting to go with it and didn't want lemony cake. I also added 2 scoops of soy protein powder just for fun. This cake was not too sweet and tasted amazing with a generous helping of simple powdered sugar- margarine-soymilk frosting on top!

I made the batter into cupcakes and the mixture was just the right amount for 12.  I used my silicone muffin trays without paper cases because nothing ever sticks to them.  They took 20 mins to cook and made perfect golden cupcakes. 

My only recommendation/warning?  Leave the cupcakes to cool in the silicone moulds and only remove them when cold.  I tried to turn one out a few mins after them came out of the oven and it fell apart.  I left the rest until they were cold, pulled the edges of the silicone a little to loosen the sides and then pushed them out straight from the bottom (ie almost turning the mould inside out).  Doing it this way, and taking it slowly, meant that all bar one came out intact.

I made this recipe for my kids at school.  The were a hit! thanks for the recipe.  I never got to try them, but I doubled the recipe and 30 cupcakes were gone.
