Easy, Moist and Dense White Cake Recipe

Many people asks what is the difference of white cake and the yellow cake.

Or they’re gonna be like “is there any difference between the white cake and yellow cake?” Not that I’ve run the research or anything, but I would guess that this question is the one of the more frequently asked by bakers and especially home cooks. And while I love baking from scratch and don’t use them, I have often wondered this myself. What is the difference between both of the cakes? And I decide to find out the answer.

In white cake, it contains egg white only and removes the yellow, and in the yellow cake they use a whole of eggs.
