im also on a search for good scratch recipes it seems there are so many out there and its hard to know which ones are keepers and which ones are duds. i was wondering if anybody has tried this recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Davids-Yellow-Cake/Detail.aspx. it has gotten good reviews but you never know.
I've tried the recipe, and its great. Granted I haven't tried too many recipes, but I already made this one a keeper. Loved eating it plain 
I love the Mermaid Bakery's vanilla cake! I think it has lots of flavor. Are you using real vanilla? I don't know if that matters or not; some say it does, some say it doesn't. I use milk/vinegar for buttermilk.
Have the same question as jillyb, do you sub cake flour in this recipe for a better cake? If you do, what is the particulars of subbing?
Thanks, P
I don't think it's limited to just this particular cake, just yellow cakes in general. These might help:

Thanks craftybanana2!
I made the cake into different layers. Only coloring the purple do I had problem - it turned into ashy grey lol.
However I also realised the cake dips in the middle, which I had never experienced while making thicker layers in the past. I was supposed to stack the cakes together for a 2-tier star wars cake. Thankfully it held up quite well!
