Steps:

Beat on medium speed until the eggs and oil are well incorporated and the batter is lighter in color, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Next mix in the sour cream and beat until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Alternate adding half the dry ingredients and half the buttermilk at a time and mix just until the flour starts to incorporate. Then add remaining dry ingredients and buttermilk and beat until well combined. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and stir the batter from the bottom to the top to ensure it's well mixed.
• Pour the batter in a 9-inch by 13-inch pan and bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes. Test the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

THE PERFECT MOIST YELLOW CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 3 (8-inch) cake pans. NOTE: For cupcakes, this recipe makes 2 dozen cupcakes; fill the cupcake liners to half way only. (I speak from a messy experience) Using a mixer, cream butter until fluffy. Add sugar and continue to cream for about 7 minutes. Add eggs one at a time. Beat well after each egg is added. Add flour and milk (alternating to creamed mixture), beginning and ending with flour. Add vanilla and butter flavoring to mix; until just mixed. Divide batter equally into three cake pans (or I use a mini-bundt pan or cupcakes are fine, too) Hold each layer about 3 inches above your counter and carefully drop the pans flat onto counter several times to ensure release of any air bubbles. This will help you have a more level cake. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes (depending on your oven) until done. For cupcakes or mini bundts, baking time is between 12 to 18 minutes. Check for a light golden color and use a toothpick for doneness. If a few crumbs stick to the toothpick, it's baked. If the toothpick comes out with dough, bake for a few more minutes. Cool in pans for 5 to 10 minutes. Remove and immediately wrap each layer in plastic wrap to seal in moisture. Cool completely on wire racks. Once cooled, you are ready to assemble your cake. Tips for a moist layer cake: Here's a little trick to add moisture into your layers: Combine 1 cup of sugar and 2 cups of water. Bring to boil and boil for approximately 3 minutes. Let cool. Pour liquid into a spray bottle or pouring bottle. Cake assembly: Unwrap first layer and using a serrated knife, level off the top of your cake. Place layer onto your dish. Take a straw and poke holes into the layer. Using your spray bottle, spray top of layer several times; enough to give it a little moisture. Be careful - don't add too much. Add a layer of frosting to your bottom layer. Repeat on second and third layers. Frost the sides.
