One of my favorite classes in college was a household equipment lab. One of our experiments was baking yellow cake in different pans, and under various circumstances, to see which produced the best result. There were many mornings that semester that I had warm yellow cake for breakfast. Oh, those were good days!
Last Sunday, our dinner assignment was dessert. We didn't have much in our pantry to work with, but we did have everything we needed for a homemade yellow cake with chocolate butter cream frosting. It is a classic and to this day, one of my favorite things to eat for breakfast.
In my household equipment class, we used box cake mixes. Now, I try to make as many things as I can from scratch. Yellow cake is really pretty simple, even Martha Stewart's version, which is what I brought to Sunday dinner.
I used this slightly salty melt-in-your-mouth recipe for chocolate butter cream frosting.
