I love making yellow cake because it’s such a comforting treat. Its subtle sweetness pairs beautifully with a hot drink, making it ideal for breakfast or an afternoon snack. While it’s a classic, I appreciate how straightforward the recipe is. You only need a few simple ingredients, and it doesn’t take much time to prepare. I remember the first time I tried to bake it; I forgot to lower the heat, and it ended up with a slightly crisp edge, but we all loved that little twist! It reminded me that baking can be forgiving, and each attempt is a chance to learn something new.
