How old are your leaveners (baking soda & baking powder)? Is it possible that they are stale? Looking at the recipe & accompanying video on the ATK site - they stress that you want to use bleached flower for the best results (unbleached flour is said to make a denser / crumbier cake). They also point out that the cake is a high ratio cake - in regards to sugar / flour ratio -- needing more sugar than flour. Only mentioning this as you were going to try to increase the flour amount. If you do, you may want to toss in some more sugar as well. | |||

I'd say less than a few months old. I try to keep an eye on that and bake fairly regularly. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer.

What BlackTalonJHP & snwghst said...also, if ingredients are old, such as baking powder, it will have an adverse effect. Don't. drink & drive, don't even putt. | |||

Try giving my good friend Shani a buzz. Tell her I sent you. Begin with Butter Contact Page -Rob I predict that there will be many suggestions and statements about the law made here, and some of them will be spectacularly wrong. - jhe888 A=A | |||

I think I'll do that when I get home. Thanks! Some other good suggestions in the thread, also. I'll wait until I'm not so pissed off at that damn cake before trying again. The fucking cake will NOT win. ________________________________________ -- Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.

I would suggest that you check out https://www.lifeloveandsugar.com/ The cakes she makes are to die for and most of her recipe's are home brewed. I've stopped counting. | |||

Here is the Yellow F. Sheet Cake recipe from the ATK book. I blipped over the active part. I still think that more flour and baking soda are needed. ATK, The Perfect Cake, YFSC page 105. 2.5 cups cake flour 1.75 cups sugar 1.25 teaspoons baking powder .25 teaspoon baking soda .75 teaspoon salt 1 cup buttermilk, room temp 3 large eggs, seperated 3 large yolks 10 tablepoons melted butter, unsalted 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Pinch, cream of tartar, not sauce 9"x13" sheet, 325F, 28-32 minutes. Whip egg whites with CoT, .25 cup sugar. Mix dry ings in a bowl. Mix wet ings in a bowl. Combine then fold in egg whites. Bake.
