I just love the education you put it to your videos. I learn more about cake when I thought I didn’t have anything more to learn. I finally made your cake goop. Where has that been all my baking life. Thanks for that one.?

I am so grateful to you Liz! My cakes are in the oven, but even though they aren’t fully baked, I know these will come out perfect! I can tell by the viscosity and smell of the batter. I have been looking for a staple vanilla cake recipe that I can doctor to expand my recipe arsenal! I am excited because I got my first “possible “ client today 😁 Between your wonderful guidance of recipes from you and Alexandria (Finespun Cakes) sugar flowers and arrangement! The wedding is in the fall of 2023, but I am going to draw up some sketches and meet with her in a few weeks…. I am so excited I feel I could burst! I just wanted to thank you for all your amazing help and the Sugar Geek Show for introducing me to the world of gum paste flowers and many other skills ❤️

You’re so right about investing in a scale. I resisted for a long time, so glad I gave in!

Thank you so much for putting so much detail in your videos. I'm just starting, even though I'm not so young, and you're giving me the confidence to go ahead and try.

I love one bowl anything! 💞 This reminds me (texture) of the eggless Indian cakes (Rasmalai/Gulab jamun). That look dense but boy are they super moist and hold their shape 😋.

Thank you for bringing the science. I often bake cakes with buttermilk but never knew about the gluten connection. Love that this is one of your simpler cakes, and never saw a faux SMBC. Looks like it’s easier and if it’s also less sweet than an American buttercream, I’m there for it.

Hi Liz, could I use this recipe for a sheet cake? Would I need to double it for a half sheet?

I always learn so much from every one of your videos. Thank you for taking the time to explain the 'why' of everything you do. I'm going to try this recipe with some added sprinkles inside. Who doesn't love confetti cake ?!?!

How does this differ from your moist vanilla cake recipe (that I so dearly love)? As far as texture and flavor what the difference between these two? Thanks!

I made the cake this weekend and it was different from what I am used but it was yummy. I did add some simple syrup for extra moisture.

I also made the buttercream and I LOVED it. I need to practice icing with it because it os softer that what I am used to but the flavor is amazing

Great video. Questions:
1) for a white cake do we use "same amnt of eggs" as this recipe but just the white
2) for yellow cake...in addition to the amnt of whole eggs per tbe recipe, how many yolks do you add?
