Fluffy yellow layer cake isn’t your average cake. Think of it as a tender and delicate version of your standard yellow cake (like a chiffon cake); but strong enough to withstand a generous amount of frosting. Traditional chiffon is too delicate to act as a layer cake, and butter cake is sometimes too rich and dense for our tastes. Discover how we adapted a chiffon technique of using a large quantity of whipped egg whites to get high volume and light texture, and combined it with our butter cake recipe, a perfect marriage that results in a lighter, delicate yellow cake that works just right with frosting. We will share with you what equipment you need for success and what kind of flour ensures a tender, porous crumb.
