I bake from scratch and I have no problem making any other typed of cake but yellow. I tried four different recipes and methods and they came out horrible. The first recipe overflowed some and then when I took it out of the oven the center collapased. It had this horrible smell almost like Ammonia on the bottom. It tasted weird and I threw it away. This is the recipe
1 1/2 c of sugar
2 1/4 cup ap flour
3 1/3 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs
1 c of milk
1/2 c of oil
2 tsp vanilla extract.
I combined everything and baked and it came out horrible.
The second time around
it was 1 1/2 c sugar
2 1/4 c flour
3 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 pk pudding
3 eggs
1 1/4 milk
3 TB oil
2 tsp vanilla
This had a weird texture. I did not like and in the garbage it went
The third time
2 c sugar
1/2 c butter
1/2 c oil
2 c flour
1 tsp baking soda
5 eggs seperated
1 c buttermilk
1 tsp vanilla extract
I creamed the butter and sugar. Added oil slowly and then added egg yolks one at a time. Then I alternately added dry with butter milk and vanilla and then I whipped egg whites and folded it in. They baked ok but overflowed. I tested them and the toothpick came out clean. When I took them out they collapsed and caved it in the center and tasted ok.I couldn't even use them bc it was a huge whole in the center.
The fourth time I did
1 cup of cake flour
1 1/2 cup of flour
2 c sugar
1 1/4 cup oil
1 c buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 eggs
It cake out ok. It was very heavy and tasted great but tasted like pound cake.
HELP I've read almost every thread about this and everyone seems to have the same problem. I like the texture of boxed cake mix and flavor so I wanted something like that. I want it to be fluffy and taste great and help would be appreciated.
