Golden, also known as yellow, cake layer is a classic cake layer, distinguished by its pleasant yellow color and a light custard-like aftertaste and aroma. This is all thanks to the high amount of egg yolks in the layer. The brighter and darker the yolks, the richer the color of your layers. This recipe produces golden layers that are airy, soft, and just the right amount of moist. The dough is easy to mix, and the layers bake quickly. Top the layers with any frosting of your choice and assemble the cake.
