Looks delish! But this also looks more white. I think I might try and use more yolks instead of the whole egg.

Can I use a 9 by 13 instead of the 8 inch round pans? Would I have to change anything about the batter?

Hello! You can use almond milk in place of regular milk. Happy baking! -Stephanie

[@ivanagentile3092]

Great tutorial!!! Can I use vegetable milk? Thank you!!😍

[@wilton]

Hello! We have never tried this recipe with vegetable milk, however it should work with almond or coconut milk. Happy baking! -Stephanie

Nice to see you, Stephanie! One question... can you freeze these cakes ahead of decorating them or is that not recommended?

[@wilton]

Hi! You can freeze the un-decorated cakes for about 3-4 weeks, but be sure to wrap them well with plastic wrap :-) Happy baking! -Stephanie

What music is in this video?

[@nancyphillips9860]

It looks so delicious! I have a question why cakes with cake flour taste gritty? People ask me if I put rice flour on it. 🤔

[@wilton]

Hi Nancy! Cakes made from scratch tend to be denser than box mix cakes. Try sifting the dry ingredients to prevent grittiness. Happy baking! -Stephanie

[@amichellepaz]

Is this recipe good for covering the cake with fondant?

Why do the cakes taste bitter when I use cake flour, even when it’s far from being expired?

[@wilton]

Hi Carolina! I'm not sure why your cake is tasting bitter. Could you email our Customer Service department at [e-mail] with the recipe you are using? Thanks! -Stephanie

[@celestia7269]

Carolina Boyd it might be that you used too much vanilla extract

[@gaminggen5807]

Carolina Boyd too much baking powder

[@dannadorantes]

one quick question what is cake flour and where could I get it?

[@wilton]

Hi Danna! Cake flour has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour. It can be found in most grocery stores. Happy baking! -Stephanie

[@christianityanswered2953]

you can make it using all purpose flour. google it because i forgot the exact measurements. i think you add baking powder

[@stine_k_b]

Can i fold in some sprinkels to make it a funfetti cake?

[@wilton]

Absolutely! Happy baking! -Stephanie

[@stine_k_b]

Great! thanks, but i was wondering.... does strawberrymousse fit with funfetticake?

[@komoriaimi]

Yes, I made this recipe and it seems perfect a perfect fit for fruits. I'm thinking peach for my incoming one. Sorry to pitch in your funfetti cake without being asked but I think if you make a strawberry mousse or strawberry whipped cream in both cases with little chunks of strawberry would be AMAZING. And adding some simple syrup in between layers would be great.

[@stine_k_b]

I made it 3 weeks ago... :) and everything else would be to much work ( and to many money ) i only had 2 hours the day before, and 1 hour and 30 mins on the day, i made it for my class.

[@komoriaimi]

That's fine too. I bet it was cute and yummy.

[@cherisemartis3436]

Can I use margarine instead of butter?

[@wilton]

Hi Cherise, we haven't tried this recipe with margarine, but generally you can substitute margarine for butter. Note: it might make your cake slightly denser and lighter in color.

For how many minutes do you bake the cake please

[@wilton]

Hi Jensine! The full recipe is available here: blog.wilton.com/yellow-cake-recipe/ We recommend baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35-40 minutes.

[@brokencrayonsstillcolor1394]

PLEASE HELP!!! Almost every layered cake recipe online is for 8 inch pans. I only have 9inch and cannot purchase any 8inch at the current moment. *Whats the best way to change a recipe from a 3 layer cake made in 8inch pans to a 3 layer cake in 9inch pans??* And please don't only suggest investing in 8inch pans.. I like wider cakes.

[@efghijklmnopqr]

What happened with me is that the recipe called for three 8 inch cake pans and I only had two 10 inch cake pans so I just divided to batter so each cake pan had 1.5 cake batter inside. So maybe you should try to divide the batter into your cake pan. It might work.

[@agntamiko27]

Is the butter salted or non-salted?

[@wilton]

Hello! This recipe would use unsalted butter. Happy Baking!

[@angic3986]

Best vegan milk and egg substitute to keep this consistency? I'm thinking almond milk and vinegar/ baking soda egg. Has anyone tried this?

[@wilton]

Hi Angi, our Vegan Vanilla Cupcake recipe uses almond milk, vegetable oil, and some vegan butter substitute. wilton.com/vegan-vanilla-cupcakes/wlrecip-8711/

[@saimatalib7795]

What if I don't have butter because it's lockdown outside and I can't find butter easily and it's my sister's birthday is on 15

[@wilton]

You can try using stick margarine. It's not the same as butter, but should work as a substitute. Hope this helps!

[@peggypettit7346]

Is it possible to make this a gluten free cake.

[@wilton]

Hi Peggy! Unfortunately, we do not have a gluten free version of this recipe. However we do have a flourless chocolate cake recipe here: www.wilton.com/flourless-chocolate-ganache-cake/WLRECIP-8537.html#start=5 As with all gluten free baking, check all your ingredients to be sure they are gluten free before baking. Happy baking! -Stephanie

[@emmaRBC]

I bake similar cakes which are gluten free Peggy so I think this recipe would work if you substitute for a gluten free flour mix. But make sure you get one which comes recommended (some are better than others!) Also, check the baking powder as some have gluten in!

[@sheandergrillis9481]

How to get this cake eggless

[@saimatalib7795]

Replace the eggs with condensed milk 1 egg = 5 tablespoons of condensed milk Is you use sweetened condensed milk than reduce the amount of sugar
