Hi--
I love to bake and have started baking cakes to give away to those at church that are sick, need cheering, etc. Anyway I have tried different recipes and it seems like my cakes taste dry. I wanted to use an all butter recipe for a yellow cake but I am wondering if that is the problem. Would it be better to use a recipe with part butter and part shortening or oil instead? I don't use cake flour either would that help? If you have a good tried and true recipe to share I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Toni
P.S. I would prefer cakes without any alcohol--vanilla extract is O.k.
