If you have time to test it, that is a good idea. Otherwise I would mix each batch separately while the other layers bake since I don't know if mixing a huge batch would work or what would happen as the batter sits waiting for baking. Good luck and thanks for your question :)Tiffiny Felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499334112784136033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044381755026606664.post-1653351235200711212017-07-13T06:34:24.976-07:002017-07-13T06:34:24.976-07:00Thank you :) I'm so happy you enjoyed the reci...Thank you :) I'm so happy you enjoyed the recipe Tiffiny Felixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12499334112784136033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044381755026606664.post-43739350394918767382017-07-13T04:10:47.537-07:002017-07-13T04:10:47.537-07:00I am making a wedding cake and want to use this re...I am making a wedding cake and want to use this recipe.

I might add a bit more vanilla since taking away the egg yolk and half of the butter will take away some of the flavor.

I was thinking use 6 egg whites and replace half the butter with shortening? If not, do you have a high altitude white cake mix recipe? I tried this yellow cake and it was fantastic.

If it helps anyone else I did make some small changes to accommodate a very lactose intolerant household member - used 1/2 cup lactose free margarine + 1/2 cup shortening instead of butter, 1 cup + 2 T lactose free milk ± 1 T vinegar (let sit a few minutes before using) instead of buttermilk. Worked wonderfully.

I didn't add the lemon to the frosting and added more whipping cream. Idk if that was a good idea. It tastes great but it was so hard to ice the cake. Maybe I just need cake decorating classes lol.

I've tried cupcakes before, but all have fallen flat so the pressure for a great cake was on. I followed the directions exactly (except I forgot to push start on the timer :-/ thankfully I noticed soon enough and was able to just watch it carefully as it baked.) It came out perfect and my husband was so impressed. My mom even thought it was a store bought cake. Thank you so much for posting this recipe! If you have a chocolate cake recipe I would love that also to satisfy the chocolate lovers in my family. <br />Thanks,<br />CarlieCarliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16955601722513999583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3044381755026606664.post-87733637033242246012015-08-29T21:46:47.786-07:002015-08-29T21:46:47.786-07:00After living in Colorado for 4 yrs, this was my fi...After living in Colorado for 4 yrs, this was my first cake from scratch. Turned out pretty good. I added the zest of 2 lemons sprinkled over the iced filling between the two cake layers. That REALLY added to the lemony aspect I was aiming for. Like one of the previous commenters, I too noticed after the fact my baking powder was a yr or 2 past its expiration date. My cake wasn't light and fluffy -a bit on the dense side but really moist. My 9 yr-old birthday boy LOVED it and so did our friends. Thank you! I'll have to check out this Pie in the Sky altitude cookbook. (I wanted to include a photo of my cake but I don't think I can. I added a Minecraft “Mr. Stampy Cat” cake topper to mine.

I know it's a pain, but my cakes didn't turn out until I did it. Then maybe I'd make sure you were alternating the flour mixture and buttermilk when adding to the mixing bowl, and that you were mixing them long enough. I hope that helps a little bit.

This was light, moist, crumbly, tasty, mmmm -mmmm-mmmm. My guests loved it and I love it. You restored my love of baking. I am at 5500 ft and it needed an extra 12 minutes in the oven but I think that might be due to the fact that I realised I had a pizza stone sitting on the shelf above it. Bit of advice to anyone who is a numnuts like me, have a clear oven!
