AHi all. I absolutely love the white cake recipe I use. It requries 4 large egg whites. How many large eggs with the yolk should I use to turn it into a yellow cake recipe?

I normally just use 3/4 cup of liquid egg whites(as stated on the back) when I make white cake, but I'm not sure if the measurements for liquid whites are the same as regular eggs. My cakes don't come out as fluffy if I use regular large egg whites for some reason.

Thank you for any help.

Probably 2 or 3 max on whole eggs.  If you really want a yellow cake, use only yolks...about 5-6.

AThank you!!I will try that.

My white cake uses 4 whites....when I make yellow cake, I use two large whole eggs plus 3 large egg yolks.  I usually add a drop or two of yellow coloring too since even with whole eggs the cakes really isn't "yellow" enough.  Most people are expecting the color of boxed mix yellow cake, so adding a bit of color helps distinguish the cake more from a white cake.

AThank you both for the input!! There is a local cupcake shop that makes the best yellow cake/cupcakes. It's just as fluffy as the box stuff if not more and almost highlighter yellow bc they use farm fresh eggs. However, they use just the yolks & it is so fragile. By the time I arrive home which only takes 15 min, they fall apart. It's just so fluffy, light, and tender...from scratch.

Let everyone know how it works out for you.
