I had a dense yellow cake once from a bakery. It was incredible, and I would like to make one. Does anyone have a recipe for dense yellow cake?

I like the store bought chocolate frosting for yellow cake. The homemade kind never seems to be as dark or smooth.arlienb said:that sounds like a tasty cake recipe--would have a frosting recipe that would suit it? thanks.
Gretchen said:Was the cake a pound cake?
Gretchen said:Was it very sweet and very moist?
Gretchen said:No, you already said it wasn't. With a coconut icing the 1-2-3-4 cake might make it, but as I said, I don't usually think of that as "dense".
If it was very moist and sweet I was going to suggest tres leches.
Gretchen said:I don't think the 1-2-3-4 cake would be dense. It is very delicious however. Makes a great caramel cake with homemade caramel icing.
Was the cake a pound cake?
Gretchen said:I don't have one and I'd take your word for it. The times I have made it--and the lady in DH's home town that made caramel cake with it--I just wouldn't describe it as dense. I'd suggest that the OP make it rather than me and decide if that is what it is. I think pound cake is dense. 1234 cake has a sort of crumb, as you said. Maybe that is dense to you.
