[tjmilliner1011]

I made this for dessert the other day; I decided to do a pound cake and it turned out pretty tasty.

[bettyskitchen]

@tjmilliner1011 Thanks for your great feedback!  I really appreciate it!

--Betty :)

[815lost316]

I never thought about making the center of the batter lower to prevent a higher rise. That's always been such a pain when I bake. Thanks, Betty! That's a great tip that I'll certaintly be using! ;)

[bettyskitchen]

@815lost316 I hope the tip helps you! Thanks for your lovely comment!

[HerculesFullFandub]

Hi betty. I just love baking cakes! It's my favorite treat to make! But I never understood why you alternate flour to milk flour to milk. I've heard it a lot of times, but I don't know why this step is so important. Does it have something to do with the forming gluten thing?

[crazykasumi]

@HerculesFullFandub its prob. just the easiest way to mix the batter evenly, but im no expert! lol

[Evelyn40420]

@HerculesFullFandub Yep i have heard about it too. Here in Finland that is done in many recipes. I just have a Betty´s yellow cake waiting in the oven right now, it looks very fluffy and the color looks amazing :) :)

[Evelyn40420]

@Evelyn40420 I did a recipe exactly like this about a year ago. This time,due to the lack of flour, I replaced a bit of the flour with cornstarch. I sifted the dry-ingredients mix, and I added them to the egg batter as Betty says: alternating it with milk. Suddenly I wanted to make a risky experiment, and instead of using the mixer for integrating the flour and milk, I mixed them all by hand. The result was... overwhelming!:D :D.... lighter than air and amazingly fluffy! like never before

[Evelyn40420]

@Evelyn40420 Ah! and I used half a cup of cream and half a cup of milk :)

[Evelyn40420]

@Evelyn40420 But definitely i owe all this to your recipe, because I learned a lot with this video! thanks Betty!

[bettyskitchen]

@Evelyn40420 Thanks for your lovely comment! I really appreciate it!

[admireme899]

Thanks for the recipe Betty ! To answer the question about sponge cake - sponge cake is when you mix whole eggs with sugar and beat till stiff. You do add some fat, typically vegetable oil or melted butter.

[moovlvrtew]

With the ingredients halved, is it about the same size as a grocery store sheet cake? My son's birthday is Thursday and I bought a box mix for his birthday dinner but this looks simple enough to mix up.

[bettyskitchen]

@moovlvrtew If you halved it, it should be about the size of an 8-inch by 8-inch baking pan. It is easy to mix up, and will make a nice, smaller cake. It would be 1/2 the size of the finished cake that I cut in my 1000th video.

--Betty :)

[fraser8402]

I wish you wouldnt go away when you blend, cook, or mix something. It is so much fun watching everything come together. It isnt loud at all.

[ninjatot]

this is nice and easy @bettyskitchen! will definitely try this!

[MissPonderosa]

Yum! Cant wait for the frosting. The one in your 1000th video looked so neat and perfect!

[theaegymaknae]

i wanna know how you make the print '1000th video' !

[TheKiwiCook]

Is yellow cake the same as sponge cake or is it like a simple vanilla cake?

[nilaya87]

@TheKiwiCook This recipe contains butter - and a traditional sponge cake contains no fat.

[parrisdaley]

betty i tried to do the banoffe pie base and i think its went ok but it may not have what other toping could i use instead of banoffee

[qualqui]

Great lookin' Yellow cake,....er....for high altitude most boxed cake mixes tell ya to add one teaspoon or one tablespoon of flour and increase/decrease by 1 teaspoon the liquid(water or milk), the same thing applys here dear Betty? Lookin' GOOD,...Thumbs up to ya all and thankin' ya for an AWESOME 1001 video!! = )

[freakylocz14]

[cesarbattistinim]

[mrsshell89]

Hi betty, great video im a parent that has a daughter thats.going bak to school, any videos u can upload for school lunch ideas? Thanks betty :)

[110cottoncandy]

Can I use a 9 inch by 13 inch rectangular cake pan?

[iibillydii]

Betty, a good tip to keep your cakes from rising so tall in the center is to bake your cakes at a lower temp. bake at 325 for about 40-45 minutes vs 375 for 20 minutes. It will come out more dense and moist. Just a tip.

[passionclark]

betty you are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kaybees49]

The cake came out looking wonderful. Looking forward to that icing recipe now!

[Nanaslittleblessing]

Congratulations once again Betty and Rick!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful yellow cake recipe I'm sure it taste delicious!!

[AyBeeV]

This looks amazing, as usual! Do you think you could share a recipe for peanut butter frosting?

[Education2010able]

Basic yellow, as you well know, makes yummy to the tummy sock-it-to-me cakes.

[jcrefasi1]

BTW congrats to you and Rick on reaching 1000 videos!! I think I've only missed one or two!!!!

[jcrefasi1]

Great cake recipe! My aunt made a similar cake she called her " 1 2 3 4 " cake based on the ingredients 1 cup butter, 2 cups, sugar etc. It was a dense yellow cake and I remember it fondly. Doesn't matter if you ice it or dust with powdered sugar, it's still delicious. Thanks for reminding me if this wonderful cake

[VANNYLO1107]

hey Betty i love your videos they are very help full, i watch all the sandwiches ones!!! i have a question... what would happen if i add all eggs at the same time???? Thank you!!! Vanny

[Robind0514]

That looks yummy and with two sticks of butter, how can it be bad? Thanks for another great video Betty.

[ThatsSoAnne]

Congratulations !!! :-) I'm so happy for you !! you must be very proud ;-) hope you'll make many more <3

[tuffydoodle]

Congratulations on your 1000 videos! I love them all, especially the dessert ones. You rock, Betty!

[ds41980]

Dear Betty,

Congratulations on your 1000 videos! I wanted to thank you for your great tip of making a depression in the middle of the cake batter before baking it so you won't get that hump. I find myself using that tip even when I make sandwiches! I spread the filling out from the middle so it will be even to the edges of the bread. Again thank you for the great tip!

[terriannedwards]

CONGRATS BETTY!!!!!!!!:-)

[ballietbran]

Congrats again on the 1000th video!

[Barginjunkie69]

[lovethatcat2]

Ok, now I want cake. Looking forward to the icing video.

[sergio19243]

Good evening. Thank you for the sharing of this video. Again a new recipe who seems to be very good. That's very good. All are delicious pastries in general. Unfortunately, sometimes it is not recommended for health. Thank you very much for what you do. Respectfully.

Your friend Sergio le gitan

[popze]

Congratulations on the 1000th video :D

Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve for upcomming videos :D

[bfenti]

Looks Great. Have been looking for a good cake recipie and will try this. A Skid-proof Silicone Place mat would prevent the bowel from sliding on counter.

[SutaparRannaghar]

congratulations betty on your 1000th video

[FloresDeLaPrimavera]

Congrats on your 1000th video! Great recipe as always!

[SommerV2]

I was thinking, do you know if any of your old students are watching your cooking show? I imagine watching my math teacher cook, on camera, for youtube - the idea is quite funny to me! Good job, Betty! :)

[wildheart5]

Looks really yummy and the batter was beautiful!

[mancillado]

1000 videos??!!!! :o

[makeup118]

congratulation Betty on 1000th video

i love all your video

excellent work

[DMRogers63]

Looks really good Betty, My granddaughter will be one and I'm going to make this cake. I thought you might take a little break after the 1000th episode but I'm glad for a new video. I went all the way back into the archives to look for recipes to make in my new kitchen,but they were superbowl ones. Can't wait for that, so I'm making your elegant chicken cordon bleu,Betty's browned butter mashed potatoes and your creamy yellow squash casserole.I'll let you now how it turns out.

[bluesunnyday]

excellent work Betty!!! you reckon i can half the recpie and use self raising flour (ran out of plain flour)???

[bettyskitchen]

@bluesunnyday Yes, you may divide each ingredient by 2, use self-rising flour (leaving out the baking powder and salt), and bake it in a smaller pan.

--Betty  :)

[BF4LCLJG]

congratulation :)

[JoRandom101]

Hey look I can view this video to bad I could not see the 1000th video because it was set for people who view with phones can't see it :/ I watched every one of your videos then I get booted watching this video would be pointless

[ihateu78]
