This recipe was on the yeast packet and I decided to make it. Absolutely delicious, simple and easy. Now I’d like to see more recipes using yeast for cakes.
Kathleen,
We agree – this cake is so good!
You can substitute cake yeast in any of our recipes. Use our conversion chart to determine the amount of cake yeast to use (based on total flour).
