I also found out on the web that white vinegar will substitute for cream of tartar, if you're having trouble with the egg whites stiffening. It made mine a little bit peakier but definitely not stiff. It ended up moist and tasty but with the texture and density of pound cake and not fluffy. I dunno if this will help anyone but I thought I'd share! Thanks again! It didn’t end up too sweet!

Where is the extra 1/4 cup of sugar? In general though, I don't think it should cause much of a problem. Hi Anna, I apologize but I don’t really understand your question.

I am a scatterbrain! I tried to make this last night and dumped all the sugar in with the dry ingredients. I pressed onward only to have trouble separating the eggs well enough to stiffen the egg whites. The egg whites didn't stiffen (I think I know why) and I didn't have any cream of tartar so I gave up. I'm going to try again but my question is this: will it just be a little sweeter with the extra 1/4 of sugar or will it ruin the cake? I went through a lot eggs and butter already, so I hate to start from scratch. Any suggestions are appreciated! I love this blog! Help! I am a scatterbrain!

For a "regular" cake like this, or a birthday cake you just want to throw frosting on and maybe pipe a nice border or writing, the ones with just butter are more than okay.

Kind of grosses me out but Wilton uses it. Thanks! Another question….what do you think about frostings that use shortening vs. butter? Kind of grosses me out but Wilton uses it.

I made the yellow cake with chocolate ganache (withn amaretto instead of frangelico) and my recipe for buttercream icing for a friend's engagement dinner party and it turned out to be so good. I'm planning on using the cake and ganache recipe again for my daughter's birthday party cake :) Hi – Thank you so much for posting this recipe!
