Wants A Plain Cake... So I Need The Best Recipe There Is :]
Baking By JaeRodriguez Updated 5 Jun 2009 , 8:39am by JaeRodriguez
I am making a birthday cake for two friends who are twins and are very picky eaters, they don't like any kind of cake except yellow and want buttercream icing, said it could be chocolate. Told me they didn't want fondant either. Anyway the party I am making it for is going to have people who are going to be just waiting for me to fail at making a great cake so I need a kick booty recipe for yellow cake and buttercream. I know it's yellow cake and buttercream how much more plain can you get lol but I want to make the best these people have ever had...
Any recipes you can throw at me? TIA!
I agree with msulli10... use the WASC recipe, vanilla yogurt instead of sour cream, and vanilla coffee creamer for the liquid. They'll love it!
Ahhh! Thank you both, I was leaning towards that or the Mermaid Bakery one but I'm reading that it might have a funny texture to it...
My vote is for Sylvia Weinstock's Classic Yellow Cake, just google it.
It's delicious and simple without any chemical taste.
Serious_cakes buttercream is excellent with this, here's a link to it...............

Thank you dkelly! I will try both of these recipes and see which I prefer, I have time to do that thank goodness!! And I will definitely try the buttercream you sent, I am looking for a great BC too! Thanks y'all!
I've done a lot of things that they don't agree with and they really don't like me because of it and want to think that I am not capable at succeeding... it's a long complicated story. And the only reason I'm doing the cake is because I love the guys it's for and most of the people at the party! :] I almost didn't do it because I'm afraid to give them any reason to talk about me or any satisfaction in being able to say the cake wasnt good or looked like a cake anyone could make. But I want to prove to these people that I can do it and do an amazing cake! :]
haha Jamie- My friends aren't but other people that are at the party are pretty crappy :] And I know that if i make a great cake the mean people probably will still have stuff to say but at least I (and everyone else there) will know they are just talking smack because my cake was amazing ;] hehe
thanks sadsmile, I was definitely thinking I'd add more vanilla! I can't wait to try it out!
OH MY GOODNESS!!! I tried Sylvia Weinstock's recipe except I put a little extra salt and a little butter extract in it and I LOVE IT! :]]] I used a buttercream recipe that I thought was going to be too sweet but I let my dad and sister try it, and they said it's the best yellow cake they've ever had! YAY! Thank you guys! I'm going to try the WASC too, but at this point I think it's no contest!!
