Where's my camera?!

Remember how I said I wouldn't promise to update my blog, yeah that was for a good reason. We have been at my moms for a few months now and life has been hectic...to say the least. Anyway, on to the cupcake. Saul's favorite cake of all time is yellow, I know I've made yellow cake before but it was soooo dry! Nothing worse then your cupcake crumbling as you're trying to eat it.
I've been searching and searching for tips and tricks for a moist yellow cake until I found a great recipe on allrecipes.com What I usually do is find a recipe that looks good and tweak it until I love it. This recipe was so good that it surprisingly didn't need any adjustments. So here we go...

Here's the batter before baking.

All baked up and yummy. I love that it came out the same great yellow color as the box mixes.

I forgot to mention that I made flour fudge frosting, yum!

This was a perfect combo to satiate me :) I can't forget that I need to apologize for the crappy pictures. I had to use my moms brand new camera and I had no idea what I was doing with it. Not to fret, I've found it since then.

Here is the recipe for those who are interested in this yum yellow creation

David's Yellow Cake

Ingredients
1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
8 egg yolks
3/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 - 8 inch round pans or put liners in 24 cupcake tins. Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
2.In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pans.
3.Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until tops spring back when lightly tapped. Cool 15 minutes before turning out onto cooling racks.
