I found this recipe in one of those little pamphlets food companies will sometimes print and give out to the public for free. This yellow cake recipe was featured in a Crisco pamphlet called "It's A Piece Of Cake." It is just your classic, basic yellow cake recipe.
Golden Yellow Cake
- 2 cups of sugar
- 2/3 cup of Crisco
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
- 2 3/4 cup of all purpose flour (I use 1 1/2 cup of white and 1 1/4 cup of wheat.)
- 2 1/2 tsp of baking powder
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1 1/2 cups of milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 - 9" round cake pans or a 9" X 13" rectangle pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar, Crisco, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until they are light and fluffy.
In another bowl; combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together to get rid of any lumps.
Add flour mixture and the milk to the sugar mixture. Beat until well combined. Make sure to take the time to scrap down the bowl a few times to make sure you have all the ingredients are in the batter.
Pour batter into your desired pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes for the round pans or rectangular pan or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack for 5 minutes to cool in the pan. Remove from pans and place back on cooling racks to cool completely.
Top with your favorite icing or if you want a classic combo, top with your favorite chocolate icing.
If you want to use this recipe to make cupcakes, it will make about 36 cupcakes. Less if you like to eat batter like me. The cupcakes will need to bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
This is a simple cake to make and a yummy classic cake. Enjoy!
Living a simple life and grateful for every moment of it!
