I'll have to try this recipe. My go to yellow cake recipe is modified from http://www.thekitchn.com/recipe-basic-yellow-butter-cake-recipes-from-the-kitchn-14637 because I can do it in one bowl and by heart. Also, it's possible to do with only a fork or a wooden spoon which has been important living on a farm in the middle of nowhere. This the cake that I've given to the families I au paired for and I've found that it's forgiving enough to let the kids go to town on it. My cakes are almost as yellow as the boxed ones because I collect the eggs fresh in the morning. No one ever believes me when I tell them there's no coloring added. Do you have any tips for kids doing a recipe that's a bit more complicated like this? The hardest part for me is that they don't speak the best English so there's a communication barrier on top of everything else. Mercy
