Yaay! I'm so glad you found the winning (for now) recipe! It really looks awesome. I know you guys didn't like the frosting but, hot dang! it looks good! I love a big fat slather of chocolate frosting on cake!

Cakebrain - No, I've never tried that particular recipe. I will try it out, though. This cake was very easy to slice and was not crumbly. The texture was very fluffy yet easy to pick up with the back of a fork. However, it didn't taste too moist or dense; it had a great texture to it. I hope you try it out and tell me what you think.

hey! you're on a quest too! Have you tried the Cooks Illustrated recipes? I've always fallen back on those! I have my own little recipe quest going currently. Did you find this particular yellow cake easy to slice and frost? or crumbly?

You might give this a try... It's the best yellow cake with chocolate frosting I've ever made. Couple of notes: The frosting is a little on the intensive side and definitely add the rum for the cake batter. Also, you have to refrigerate the leftovers because of the buttercream, but if you microwave it for a few seconds after taking it out of the fridge it's like it just came out of the oven. Delicious!

Angelynn, great questions! I actually addressed them on previous posts about the yellow cake, but for sake of simplicity, I will answer your questions here:

1. 1 yolk + 3 eggs instead of 4 whole eggs: To make the batter/cake more yellow and less eggy-tasting. We had another cake that called for 4 eggs, and it tasted eggy.

2. 1 Tbsp vanilla extract instead of 1-2 tsp: The first cake recipe we tried called for 2 1/2 Tbsp of vanilla, and my partner-in-crime really liked the vaniilla flaor, so I compromised by using 1 Tbsp.

3. Cake flour instead of Potato Starch: I didn't have potato starch and felt it unnecessary to purchase it for a cake. I also wanted a recipe where most ingredients are accessible and usually found in most homes. Even though not everyone has cake flour, I believe it is more present in homes than potato starch. Since Warren Brown of Cake Love said that the protein amount for the cake flour was different from that of potato starch, I adjusted the ratio of AP vs. cake flour.

I'm going to copy and paste this information in the post itself. Thanks, Angelynn!

2010-07-04T20:16:01.341-05:00
Could you post the recipe for the orginal frosting you used? It looks like it would be good on another cake I am going to bake. Also, what prompted your changes to the original recipe? Was it just because you had the ingredients on hand?
