The Very Best: White and Yellow Cakes

1.15.11 130_edited-1

I’m a cake connoisseur.

Really, I am.

Ask anyone.

1.15.11 146

I can detect the subtlest of differences in flavor, the openness of the crumb, even the order wet and dry ingredients were mixed.

When I first got into baking, I approached it as I would any worldly venture: blindly and dangerously.

I stayed up late scanning recipes, inspected ratios of flour to sugar to butter to more butter to butter butter butter. Baking involves butter, I found.

1.15.11 214_edited-1

I baked sponge cake after pound cake after genoise cake after angel food, because I wanted to figure out the gentle transformation a sweet slipped through when the wet and the dry got jumbled. When the baking powder and baking soda did the nasty. Why my eggs were more willing to rise at room temperature. And finally, why (please Lord, WHY?!!!) cake didn’t frost its own damn self?

Still waiting on the last one.

True to my nature, I chose to explore baking in a wild fury. I came at her from every angle, dissected the process in every tender way, read about every nuance, and most tellingly, I taste tested every last crumb. Then I taste tested again. And just as I finished taste testing, I repeated twice more.

1.15.11 217_edited-1

And what I’ve learned from all of it, is that I love dessert*.

*I also make obvious statements at my own discretion.

A real homemade slice of something sweet. A big and round bakery layer cake, heavy on the frosting. The way fork tines slip through cheesecake like a knife through softened butter.

1.15.11 219_edited-1

Just talking about sweets now, my mouth waters; my imagination flashes to gooey and creamy and chewy and melting scoops of ice cream. Anything that would melt it so slowly. My eyes glaze over.

So when you ask me my favorite cake flavor, you’re really asking a lot of me. (Pretend to be interested here)

1.15.11 147_edited-1

I’ll just come out with it.

Ready?

Vanilla.

But not just reg’lar ole ‘nilla.

No.

Fluffy whitevanilla cake.

Not to be confused with yellowvanilla cake.

The thing is, there’s such a gentle texture, a light and lovely subtlety between white and yellow cake. But once your tongue meets this kind of sweet cream distinction, you’ll never be able to forget.

Both are rounded and rich in a smooth, creamy way. They should be moist. Soft and tender. Scented like a vanilla bean whipped with butter.

3.13.11 010

Because I love you, I’m sharing my notes on each: yellow and white cakes. The similarities, the differences, the bestrecipes I’ve adapted for each.

3.13.11 014

Let’s begin with white cake. It’s dainty, almost unbearably light, so tender that it crumbles at your lips. The texture is fluffy, puffed and cloud-like, whipped only with egg whites. The flavor is gentle, sweet and vanilla-scented. The crumb is small and tight, fine like velvet. This is the kind of cake you’d have at your wedding. It’s fragile, unforgettable and vulnerable. She pairs well with whipped white frosting.

3.13.11 018

Now, yellow. Yeller, as I call her. She’s just as tender, but perhaps sturdier than her ethereal white sister. Pale and sunny-hued with rich, egg custard flavor. Her crumb is bigger, more open and airy, moister. She tastes smooth and intense like all butter pound cake. Silkier because of her beaten yeller’ yolks. This is the kind of cake that holds up under rich chocolate frosting. She shines vanilla even without a bold topping.

      Can’t wait to try the white cake recipe. Do you think it would work to form into cake pops? Also, I only currently have buttermilk, do you think that would work. Thanks!

    Wow, before you where finished I could smell them baking and cooling on the rack! Without actually biting into one I can taste them by just the way you describe them. I’ve always loved (did I say Loved),I mean love chocolate, couldn’t find any use for vanila. You just made my mouth water for vanila, I can’t believe it! :)

    Eggs rise better at room temperature?

    great post! i love it! i was actually wondering what could the difference have been between the 2, what makes one white over yellow. DUH! Of course, it had to be the eggs. How silly could i be? Since i’m on the healthier side and my tummy is my biggest enemy, i’m most definitely going to make the white cupcakes and link back to you!

    The yellow cake came out dry — I’ll try the white next. the batter was thick — not cakelike — and I re-read to make sure I wasn’t missing any ingredients. Are we supposed to use “cake flour” or double sift or something? I almost added another egg or some milk because the consistency was off. That said — I had to test the cupcakes before serving. It’s buttery — so that’s the saving grace, and I’m serving them tonight anyway, but I won’t be using the “yeller” recipe again.

    I love how u compared the two!! I am so glad I came across
    This recipe, I’ve tried others and nothing compares
    To your vanilla white cupcakes!! I whipped up a batch of
    These cupcakes and they were amazing, but when I tried to make a
    Cake for my sons birthday it failed! I doubled the recipe and
    It was chewy and not as fluffy as the cupcakes.
    What do you think went wrong? Should I have used less
    Egg whites in the doubled recipe? Thanks

    This is also perfect as a small cake. I made 2 layers changing one layer in to a chocolate layer. I used this recipe and took out 2 tablespoons of flour and added about 2-4 tablespoons (can’t remember exactly what I did)I think the trick must be the whole milk. This is the first recipe that’s turned out great that calls for this ingredient. I got several compliments on my cake for our VBS program tonight. I now have a great “base cake” I suppose I have heard it called. Thanks for all the hard work at creating this recipe. I wish I knew how to form recipes. I had 2 small pieces left.

    I just wanted to tell you that white cake is my favourite cake also, and I have never found the perfect homemade recipe so I must always rely on store-bought white cakes. My birthday just passed last week and when my mom asked me what kind of cake I wanted, I told her white of course, and gave her your recipe to try.

    Lo and behold, she tried it and it was PERFECTION. Seriously, perfect perfect perfect. We doubled the recipe to make a THREE layer cake with light and fluffy marshmallow-y vanilla icing, and it was amazing.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    Here’s something you may be interested in as a fellow Fluff/marshmallow fan: when you make these white cakes into cupcakes, just before they are finished, place a large marshmallow on the top of each cupcake and place back in the oven for a minute or two. The marshmallow will turn golden and melt over the top of the cupcake. *drool*

    I came across your recipe while searching for a vanilla cupcake recipe for my husband’s birthday. I made the yellow batter this evening, and was skeptical that the mixing method (basically, dump it in and mix it up) would produce a light texture. THESE ARE FANTASTIC!!! Extremely moist, and have a delicate crumb. It will be my go-to recipe from now on for vanilla cupcakes. THANK YOU very much!!

    I live at just over 5000 feet elevation, so I made just a couple minor adjustments (only for altitude, not taste). I added a TB each of butter and sour cream, and decreased the baking powder to 1 3/4 tsp instead of 2. I also increased the baking temperature to 375, and baked for 18 minutes. Up here, things can raise too quickly, then fall, so decreasing the leavening and increasing temp can help prevent that.

    Thank you so much again! These turned out so well that I look forward to perusing your other offerings.

    Um, quick question. Do you mean All purpose flour or Self rising flour? I wanna try this recipe for a rainbow cake and so far yours is the only one that seems reasonable. Martha suggested 9 eggs. I don’t have nine eggs to waste on one freaking cake.

    Reply
    1. admin

      Hi Joy! No, I don’t use self-rising flour in either recipe. For the white cake, I use cake flour- which just has a fine, lighter texture than all-purpose flour. And then for the yellow cake, I use all-purpose regular flour.

      Nope I haven’t tried it! But you know, I think it could be great. I’ve seen it available in craft stores in the baking/cake decorating sections and I’ve always wondered if it would taste artificial or just the same as the true extract. Let me know if you do decide to try it!

      Hey Kim,

      Unfortunately, no, neither of these recipes will work with an alternate flour than the one listed in the ingredients. Unlike other recipes where substitutions are possible, these are so delicate that I think the texture would really be ruined by the whole wheat/pastry/white whole wheat.

      Good question, though!

    Good morning! I LOVE your comparison pictures here. I am a lover of white cake. I love the softness and tightness of the crumb. I do not like that it generally results in a puny cupcake or that it becomes dry very quickly. Because of this I’m in search of a cake that has a bit more yolk to give it more volume but still maintains the same softness of the white. Oh…and not too much of an egg custard taste :-) Many I’ve tried in the past results in a cornbread& muffin taste/consistency. Is this true with this yellow cupcake?

    Reply
    1. admin

      Hi Kay,

      It’s great to meet another person so interested in the fine details of good cake.
      I know what you mean about some yellow cake recipes yielding results that taste and feel like cornbread, but I can assure you that this yellow cake is not AT ALL like that. This yellow cake recipe, though thicker and less delicate than the white cake, is still quite soft. And while the crumb is bigger and looser, it’s still very small in comparison to the size of crumbly cornbread.

      I have a feeling you’d really like this recipe. But please do let me know how it goes if you decide to try it; I’d love to get your feedback!

    Great recipe! really enjoyed the comparison between yellow and white. I made the yellow and it came out initially not silky but thick so i added a little almond milk to loosen it up and they turned out great in the oven. I also ran the dry through a sieve (i was scared they would turn out like rocks cause this has happened to me more than a million times) i dont know if that helped but i did it just for safe measure.

My son (turning 3 in a week) usually licks the frosting off and runs off. Without the frosting or yummy crispy top he ate that whole thing!

    These look fantastic, thank you for comparing them so eloquently. I have one major gripe with finding a blog/website like yours – I really wish the weights/measurements were in Metric grams and millilitres!

    I live in the UK, and when I find a recipe I like that is in US Cup measurements I usually pass them over, which is a real shame… when I’ve used online conversion websites in the past there are some times that it all comes out a little inaccurate. As you know, baking is a science and for a perfect cake you need precision.

    Please, consider adding metric values. I imagine your fan base would swiftly multiply!

    Every since I was a kid I have loved Bakery made white cakes because they were so light, fluffy, delicate, with tiny crumbs. Where as the home made cakes were a lot heavier and much larger crumbs. Totally different structure. Never knew or would have guessed that it was because you leave OUT the egg yolks! Wow….illuminating, thank-you so very much!
    I have also tried different recipies for butter cream frosting, but it always turns out a wasted effort. Can you PLEASE send me a simple yet elegant butter cream frosting recipe? Thank you again and God bless you. Mimi

      Hi May,

      I just looked up some online conversions of tablespoons to grams and it seems that a tablespoon of butter is about 14.18 grams, so 5 tablespoons would be about 70.9 grams.

      Hope this helps!

    I tried both of these cupcake recipes today. The white cake was light and airy…not too sweet with a delicate crumb. It did not dome and was
    flat, which was not a problem, since I was icing them with a beautiful vanilla icing. The yellow cupcake was soooo delicious. It had the most
    delicate crumb, and the best flavor! The top was firm and a little crunchy, but not hard at all. It had a nice dome but sunk a little when it cooled.
    They looked just like the pic on the website, the white cupcake being a little flatter and smaller than the yellow. These two are keepers and I would recommend them to anyone looking to skip the box!!!

    Did you sift the flour before measuring? The amount of flour that fits in a cup varies depending on things such as sifting and number of times sifted. And it can still vary with each attempt even if using the same method. I can bake them a few times to determine the correct weight of flour (oz. or grams) but could you let me know if you have already done this?
