About Cake, yellow, prepared from recipe without frosting

Yellow cake is the classic American butter cake — a tender, golden, vanilla-scented crumb that gets its color from whole eggs and butter. It is the default 'birthday cake' base, and these numbers describe it plain, before the frosting that usually finishes it.

Unfrosted, it runs about 361 calories per 100 grams with roughly 15 grams of fat and 53 grams of carbohydrate, dominated by sugar and refined flour. A frosted slice climbs well above that, since buttercream is largely butter and sugar, so a piece of finished cake is a richer, sweeter affair than the bare sponge.

Yellow cake is endlessly versatile — layered with chocolate or vanilla frosting, baked into cupcakes, or split and filled. It is a celebration food, best enjoyed in a modest slice on the occasions that call for it.
