What's your favorite yellow or vanilla cake recipe? I'm desperate to find one that's moist and flavorful... Everything I've tried so far has disappointed!Best yellow cake recipe?

3 eggs


1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract


2 1/2 cups buttermilk


3 3/4 cups all-purpose flour


2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder


2 1/2 teaspoons baking soda





Procedures:


Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9x13 inch pans. Sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside.


In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Pour batter into prepared pans.


Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.Best yellow cake recipe?

I just watched an episode of America's Test Kitchen. They did a blind tasting of different boxed cake mixes and liked Betty Crocker the best, (with real butter). The show was about lemon cake with lemon curd filling made from scratch.
I personally like the box mixes, the ones with ';pudding in the mix';
