I have made this cake twice. Once with the cup measurements and just now using the weights. I just got a kitchen scale and this was the first cake I baked with weights. What an incredible difference it makes to the results! Baking this recipe by weight yielded an incredibly beautiful, fluffy and moist cake. Just when I thought this recipe couldn’t get any better, it does. Thanks Deb!

Made this cake last week for my mother in-laws birthday. I followed the recipe and the cake came out perfect. The cake is so moist and the frosting was fantastic. Everyone loved it. Thank you.

What a fantastic frosting!!! I generally don’t like cake because the frosting is way too sweet or tastes like chemicals if it comes from a can, but this frosting, well it’s just in its own league! I LOVE that it’s not to sweet, and a bit sour, and has a deep chocolate flavor with gorgeous shine! I used it on your chocolate cake recipe for a 5 year-old birthday party and it was a HUGE HIT! I was worried the kids would think the frosting was too sour, but no one said a peep and everyone ate every single crumb! I refrigerated my cakes and the frosting overnight, then assembled everything while it was cold the day of. Left it in a box in a cool basement (50 degrees) until dinner and it was perfect. This frosting is so easy to work with and it looks BEAUTIFUL! love love love it

I made a test cake April 2 and made two half sheet cakes on Friday, April 20, for a party. While the test cake was good, I decided I wanted a finer crumb so I added an extra egg yolk with the eggs and alternated the flour and buttermilk beginning and ending with the flour. I used three batches of cake batter (24 cups) for two half sheet cakes. They came out perfect and the crumb was wonderful. My client loved her cakes. This will be my go to yellow cake (with my tweeks) from now on.
