Put Egg Yolks In White Cake Mix? Does It Matter?

It won't be as pure, snow white as on with just whites, more of a vanilla color, but I think it'll be fine. I always use whole eggs, even in white cakes, I just like the flavor and texture it gives them. Try it and see you might just be a convert too!
I always use whole eggs, even in white cakes that call for only the whites. Vanilla is a great way to describe it. don't rebake - it will be better with the whole eggs. Who knows. You may like it so well you always make cakes that way.
seriously, unless you're looking for a pure white look, it will be fine. The fat in an egg is located in the yolk and fat is what makes our cakes moist. So as mentioned above you may end up liking this better.
When I added yolks to the white cake, I called it "Wedding Cake". My regular white cake was "white cake".
My only concern is that she used the same amount of whole eggs as the amount of whites the recipe called for.
For example....my white cake recipe calls for 10 whites OR 5 whole eggs, so 10 whole eggs would be overkill.
Also, she baked 1 layer with the whole eggs and 1 layer with just the whites, so when this cake is put together there will be a difference in color and taste.
If it were 2 separate cakes then I think it would be ok, but to use these 2 layers in the same cake tier may be an issue.

Many of us add an extra egg to our recipe or our box mix. I'm one of them. When I would mix up a batch of white cake mix, it could involve using 48 eggs (12 mixes in a batch). Instead of using 48 egg whites, I'd use 48 whole eggs.
Best, most moist cakes I ever made!
