The cake is naturally dense and moist in texture and delicious in taste. This cake tends to rise in the middle where it is very soft, dense and moist. I recommend you to use cake strips to prepare your pan for best results if you prefer a flat cake.

If you want to bake a flat level cake without using cake strips, reduce the amount of milk used in the recipe to 1/4 cup instead of 1/2 cup, however this will also make the cake less moist (still delicious though). If you do not mind the cake rising a little more in the middle, you can easily bake this without using the cake strips itself.

The natural light yellow color of the cake is from the fresh butter and yolks of the fresh eggs used in the yellow butter cake recipe. Yellow cakes can be made using butter or oil. And butter cakes are always made using butter as you guess. So a yellow butter cake is a yellow cake made using butter (no oil is used here). As I already mentioned, the natural color of this yellow cake comes from the yolk of the whole fresh eggs used and also the butter. But you may also use few drops of yellow food coloring if you want to add more color.

There are different kinds of yellow food colors available online, click here to see the different yellow food colors.

Most popular ones include egg shade yellow color and lemon yellow color.

For this yellow butter cake recipe, I suggest using egg shade yellow color or this regular yellow food color, if you want to use food color. Here are more pictures of how my yellow butter cake turned out.

Moist Yellow Cake Recipe, How To Make Moist Yellow Vanilla Cake From Scratch

Easy, delicious, moist homemade yellow cake made from scratch makes a perfect dessert.
Course Dessert
Cuisine American
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour
Servings 8
Calories 315kcal

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups All purpose flour (plus a little extra flour for dusting the pan)
  • 1.5 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Butter softened
  • 2 large Eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla essence
  • 2 drops yellow food color (optional) or use according to package instructions
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300 degree Fahrenheit.
  • In a bowl, mix flour and baking powder together.
  • Beat the eggs and keep aside.
  • In another bowl, add the softened butter and sugar, beat well until well combined.
  • Add the beaten eggs to the butter sugar mixture and whisk together to mix all ingredients well.
  • Now add the milk and vanilla essence to the bowl, and mix well (add the food color also to the milk if you are using it).
  • Slowly add this wet mixture to the dry flour mixture, stirring in between so that no lumps are formed. Combine everything together to form the batter.
  • Prepare the cake pan by greasing with butter and dusting with little flour. You can also line the bottom of the baking pan with parchment paper which will help you to transfer the cake easily once it is baked. Also put the cake strips around the pan for even baking if you want a perfect flat level cake- make sure you follow the directions mentioned in the strips you are using.
  • Pour the cake batter into the pan and bake this for about 45 to 50 minutes in the oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Mine was done in 50 minutes of time.
  • As soon as the cake is done, transfer it from the hot oven, allow the cake to cool down completely before you try to take it out of the pan or slice it.

Notes

Since this is a moist cake, make sure to grease the pan properly and also dust the pan nicely with flour before you pour the batter. You can also line the pan with a parchment paper if you can which will help you to transfer the cake easily. If you are not using parchment paper and if the cake sticks to the pan, you can run a butter knife through the edges of the pan which will release the cake from the sides and then keep the pan upside down on a clean surface, rack or plate where you wish to transfer the cake. After a few minutes, gently tap on the top of the pan which should easily release the cake onto the surface.
