Do you do it anyway? I made a yellow cake from a recipe on Youtube from scratch and it was so dense. What are your suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

Yep, I sift everything, too. There's all kinds of hard crud in cake ingredients.

ESPECIALLY cake mixes, even though it's a pain. I find more dark things in the cake mixes than anytihng else. I think it's probably just hardened milk solids, but I still don't want them in there.
