"Sometimes simplicity isn't as simple as it seems. Striking the perfect balance among flavor, texture, moistness, and appearance can be quite a challenge when you're making a plain yellow cake. But when you do achieve that balance — you're golden! This cake is light-textured and fine-grained; relatively moist, given its light texture; and not overly sweet, making it a good candidate for any kind of filling or frosting you desire...."
