The Craft of Baking: Cakes, Cookies, and Other Sweets with Ideas for Inventing Your Own

By Karen DeMasco, Mindy Fox
Clarkson Potter - 2009

This yellow cake is incredibly delicious - definitely 5 stars for the cake. It's fairly intensive (separating 7 eggs, whipping whites separately, etc.), but completely worth it, and this has become my go-to yellow cake recipe. The final product is delicious and moist, not too dense, but solid enough to hold up to frosting without falling apart.

The frosting was not quite sweet enough for my taste, and was a bit on the buttery side. Next time I think I'll try it with a bit more sugar. It looked like a complete failure for a long time while I was making it, but I just kept whipping it and eventually it came around to the texture a frosting should be.
