Laura420 said:what is the flavor of yellow cake mix?
I am totally stuffing my face with plain yellow cake... no icing or anything.
Anyway, I just realized that it doesnt have a real flavor like vanilla, lemon or whatever... its just yellow...
its flavor is yellow! :yuck:

That's really the only difference between white and yellow. Which makes the yellow a little richer, from the egg yolks.KateD said:White is generally just yellow but made with egg whites, right? I think they put yellow coloring in yellow cake mix, but that the flavor is basically the same as white.

It's also something that my in-laws don't seem to understand. They'll want to get yellow cake for birthdays, and then get mad that Costco doesn't have yellow, just white. I'll tell them that it's the same thing, and they don't see it. I think it's part of their plan to slowly drive me crazy.
And some brands of cake mix identify the "oil, eggs, water" version of yellow cake as "classic" to differentiate it from the "butter recipe yellow" that has butter in it.

ChefBeckyD said:MMmmmm! You are so right! I love those mousse fillings, and I love them all!
Which reminds me - we have some Costco Birthday Cake in the freezer. It's white w/ chocolate mousse filling, and chocolate buttercream frosting.
I think I'll get it out for dinner.:chef:
janezapchef said:So jealous!!! Mmmmm, maybe I'll get one for my husband's bday on Sunday. There's only 4 of us, but if it freezes well, that's ok! Cold Costco cake is even better, like fudge almost (the mousse I mean).
The flavor of yellow cake mix is typically described as sweet, vanilla, and buttery.
While homemade yellow cake may have a more distinct flavor due to the use of real ingredients, yellow cake mix is designed to mimic the classic flavor of a homemade cake.
Yes, there can be slight variations in flavor among different brands of yellow cake mix. Some may have a stronger vanilla flavor, while others may have a more subtle buttery taste.
Yes, you can add your own flavors to yellow cake mix, such as extracts, spices, or mix-ins like chocolate chips or fruit. This can enhance the flavor and make it unique to your taste.
It depends on the brand, but some yellow cake mixes may contain artificial flavors to enhance the vanilla or buttery taste. However, there are also options available that use natural ingredients for flavoring.
