Yellow Cake

So nice recipe!! Do try : Basic SPONGE CAKE

These were great as cupcakes! Made them today for my son's 2nd birthday and they were perfect. Great density, didn't crumble when they were unwrapped and eaten. I followed the recipe as written, using a hand mixer, and the only thing I neglected to do was the last half of Step 3 - i didn't see the instruction not to overmix until I had already made it nice and creamy, and I hadn't "ended with the flour mixture". Oops - but they still turned out perfect!

This was just what I wanted! It's light and airy and NOT fussy.

I used this recipe to make cupcakes and they turned out great! I did not have whole milk so I substituted soymilk and they were delicious.

with the newer flours, they have already been pre-sifted. No need to sift again.

Am I just old-fashioned or what? I had always been advised that if I were going to go to the trouble to make a cake from 'scratch', then I should also take the extra time to sift the flour. Is this old school thinking?
