this may sound stupid but I am being lazy - is there something that I can add to a white cake batter to make it a yellow cake? I personally don't like yellow cake but I get the feeling that if I just add a little yellow coloring they will probably tell the difference in taste that it is not an actual yellow cake haha. anyone know if there is something I can add or do I just need to suck it up and get a mix for it? thanks

whole eggs and vanilla generally help.

I would also suggest regular butter to supplement the whole eggs suggestion, if that's not already in your recipe.

I don't really know this for sure, but since yellow cake is butter cake and white is vanilla, couldn't you add some butter flavor? And of course the yellow food coloring, whole eggs...maybe even replace the oil with butter/margarine? I've never tried, but it might work...Jodie

I have done this-just as Jodie suggested. Whole eggs, butter and vanilla flavor and a little yellow color.

If you're using a mix add whole eggs. Scratch yellow cakes include butter and whole eggs.
