BETTER THAN A BAKERY GOLDEN YELLOW CAKE

[@seliahh9451]

If Duncan Hines keep decreasing the volume of their mixes, soon it will be "just enough" per box for an Easy Bake Oven layer cake.🤷🏽‍♀️ Even the boxes are smaller.😄

[@mannysmom]

Good point! They have gotten smaller. I'm going to try to start making more cakes from scratch. I've been watching Old School Soul Food's channel. He makes it look SO easy. Thanks SO much for watching AND commenting! MUCH Love!

[@seliahh9451]

@@mannysmom I just found his channel Saturday. I'm not sure how long he's been on YT, but glad I found his channel and yours! The current Duncan Hines box makes about 1 8" pan but back in the day, it made 2. Now you can probably get 2 7" pans if you don't Dr them up. They ought to be ashamed but I know they aren’t.😅 Thanks so much for sharing.🤗💖 I'll eat pretty much anything out of LA except crawfish & gator.🤦🏾‍♀️ Don't judge me.😅

I am trying this cake tonight. My gma passed recently and your voice reminded me of her. She was from Alabama but moved our family to Detroit. Anyways thank you for the video ❤ brought back some memories

[@mannysmom]

Aw, please accept my condolences or your loss. It's SO hard to lose someone who was so close. Please find comfort in knowing that your gma is resting in Jesus' arms! I JUST made this cake for dessert on Sunday. I have a tendency to bake too long, so I checked it at twenty minutes and kept a close watch on it so as to not overbake. It is AWESOME! Thanks for trusting me and this recipe. I hope that you like it. Continued prayers for you and the family. Cherish the memories. MUCH Love!

[@chapellastewart1301]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I used this video to make a chocolate cake for Thanksgiving this year! Absolutely delicious!

[@mannysmom]

AWESOME! I'm SO glad that you liked it! Thanks for letting me KNOW! I LOVE helping with recipes! Happy Thanksgiving! MUCH Love!

[@francesjackson2511]

I think you are right about the Duncan Hines. It has always seemed to me to have a better flavor and texture than the others. I usually make cakes from scratch, but DH is a good one to have on hand. This yellow cake you demonstrated looks so good. And a nice presentation, too. Yellow cake with chocolate frosting is always my favorite, and I'm ready to try this one. Thanks so much!!

[@mannysmom]

Yes, there IS a difference! I haven't made a cake like this in over a year. But, this recipe is good, and it's used by home bakers, too. MANY won't tell you, but I used to work retail and I have witnessed MANY purchase ALL of the cake mixes. I've even seen some use all store brand products! Thanks SO much for watching and commenting! MUCH Love!

[@aunteedaphne9573]

This recipe sounds wonderful with the sour cream. Will try soon. Thanks for sharing.

It's GOOD! I have made the yellow, white, and chocolate and decorated for church and for birthdays! Thanks for watching! MUCH Love!

[@lawanariley7030]

Thanks for the recipe I am going to try it. I just love your attitude ❤️❤️

[@mannysmom]

AW! Thanks SO much! I hope that you like it. IF it wasn't mentioned, add about 1/2 cup of vegetable oil to the cake. It's GOOD! I also have one where you use a stick of melted butter and I add the 1/2 cup cooking oil AND you use a cup of milk. Thanks SO much for watching AND commenting! It's ALL Love over here! MUCH Love!

[@racourdav]

Made this cake and it's delicious! I'm not an almond extract fan? But that really stepped up the flavor of the cake.

[@mannysmom]

Hello! Yes, and it's SO easy to make, isn't it? MANY home bakers use this or a similar recipe and charge up to $80 for this cake decorated. Thanks SO much for watching and commenting. MUCH Love!

[@racourdav]

@@mannysmom Yes, very easy to make. Wow $80? That’s inspiring lol Thanks for the recipe!

[@bakerbaker9793]

Your cake looks so yummy and golden. What did you use to coat your pan, what temperature was your oven on, for how long? I ask solely because of how pretty, soft,light, and golden. Did you use a regular baking pan?

[@mannysmom]

Hi! Thanks! I baked on 350 for about 25 to 30 minutes. Your bake time may be different based on your pan and the oven. Here are the pans that I use: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006GN

[@wmpetroff2307]

@@mannysmomYes, Dear. I like experimenting with a little bacon grease, too. Btw, I have an insatiable ideal to bake milk chocolate chip cookies, add crispy bacon crumbles, nuts, and chopped maraschino cherries. I also ponder about adding a can of cranberry sauce to a white cake mix. What do you think?

[@southernauntie3545]

Hi can I still add instant pudding to the mix or will that mess it up

[@mannysmom]

Hi! I've never tried to add instant pudding. It may make it too sweet because we added a cup of sugar to the mix already. You won't need it, though. I just made this cake Monday with caramel extract and caramel icing. It was Good!!!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! MUCH Love!
