VANILLA CAKE RECIPE
2 ½ cups Cake Flour
2 cups Sugar
2 cups Italian Custard Cream (recipe below)
¾ cups Vegetable Oil
2 ¼ tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
½ tsp Sea Salt
4 extra large Eggs
1 cup Whole Milk
Preheat oven to 350F
Place flour, sugar, butter, and baking powder in a bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on slow until all ingredients are combined. Raise speed to medium and continue to mix until mixture is smooth.
Stop the motor and pour in the custard. Mix for 1 minute, then, with the motor running, pour in the oil. Then add the eggs, 1 at a time, adding the next after the previous is absorbed. With the motor still running, vanilla and milk. Stop the motor periodically and scrape to get the bottom of the bowl incorporated.
Scoop into your forms and bake until cake tester comes out clean.
ITALIAN CUSTARD CREAM
2 ½ cups Whole Milk
1 Tbs Vanilla Extract
1 cup Sugar
2/3 cups Cake Flour
5 extra large Egg Yolks
2 Tbs Salted Butter
Put milk and vanilla in a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
In a bowl, whip together the sugar, flour, and yolks with a hand mixer. Ladle a cup of the milk mixture into the bowl and beat to temper the yolks-as you are whisking the yolks move the pot on and off the flame so that you don’t scramble the eggs.
Add the yolk mixture to the pot and beat with the hand mixer until tick and creamy, about 1 minute. Remove the pot from the heat, add the butter and whip for 2 minutes to thicken the cream. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate at least 6 hours

They aren't going to have buddy teach us the difference of these 2 types of cake and then use lets say, duff from ace of cakes recipe? If everyone gets his specific scratch recipe he won't get as much business. Seems like common sense to me.

    It's just to make money. A lot of bakers would prefer scratch cake mix over a box of cake mix. The scratch cake mix taste way better. If you take a box of cake mix it's not as fluffy and smooth as the scratch cake mix because your not adding other ingredients that the box didnt mentioned vs when your making a scratch cake batter, your adding your own ingredients. To me I prefer scratch cake mix, but I dont have a problem with box cake mix.

If he is following the directions on the box mix then he is going to do what the directions say. He would have gotten the same results using a stand mixer as he did using the wisk.

    I grew up in a family with boxed mix *everything!* So when my friend baked me a cake from scratch when I was 25 it was seriously the best cake I'd ever eaten. And it was chocolate, my least favorite cake. 25 years ago (is that possible?) and I still remember how special it was. Lol, I don't remember her name but I remember the cake.

    This is a home-cook-friendly version of the recipe I adapted from my father's old formula for an American-style vanilla cake. At home, as at Carlo's Bake Shop, it will produce the same moist cake and perfect grain every time. The custard cream is optional. You might be surprised to learn that I use vegetable oil to take the place of the liquid shortening we use at the bakery, but it replicates the effects better than I ever could have imagined before testing recipes for this book. Use this cake as the basis for everything from birthday cakes to strawberry shortcake. Be sure the batter is at the indicated temperature before baking or the cake will crown and crack. Courtesy Buddy Valastro Servings: 8 Difficulty: Easy Cook Time: 1-30 minutes Ingredients 21/2 cups cake flour, plus more for flouring the cake pans2 cups sugar, plus more for unmolding cake3/4 cup vegetable oil21/4 teaspoons baking powder1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature1 cup whole milkUnsalted butter, for greasing two cake pans (about 2 tablespoons); nonstickcooking spray or vegetable oil may be substituted Cooking Directions Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat the oven to 350°F. Put the flour, sugar, custard cream, if using, vegetable oil, baking powder, vanilla, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. (If you don't have a stand mixer, you can put the ingredients in a bowl, and use a hand mixer with the blending attachments, but take extra care to not overmix.) Mix on slow just until the ingredients are blended together, a few seconds, then raise the speed to low-medium and continue to mix until smooth, approximately 1 additional minute. With the motor running, add 1 egg at a time, adding the next one after the previous one has been absorbed into the mixture. Stop the motor periodically and scrape the bowl from the bottom with a rubber spatula to integrate the ingredients, and return the mixer to low-medium speed. After all the eggs are added, continue to mix for an additional minute to ensure the eggs have been thoroughly mixed in. This will help guarantee that the sugar is dissolved and that the flour has been thoroughly mixed in, which will help produce a luxurious mouthfeel in the final cake. With the motor running, add the milk, 1/2 cup at a time, stopping the motor to scrape the sides and bottom between the two additions. Continue to mix for another minute or until the mixture appears smooth. Before baking, be sure the batter is at 70°F to 73°F, or the cake will crown. (Test by plunging a kitchen thermometer into the center of the batter; if it is too warm, put the bowl in the refrigerator for a few minutes; if too cool, let it rest at room temperature.) Grease two 9-inch cake pans (2 inches high) with the butter, and flour them. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans, using a rubber spatula to scrape down the bowl and get as much batter as possible out. Bake until the cake begins to pull from the sides of the pan and is springy to the touch, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the cakes from the oven and let cool for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour. The cakes should be at room temperature before you remove them from the pan. Put a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet, top with sugar, and one at a time, turn the pans over and turn the cakes out onto parchment; the sugar will keep it from sticking. Refrigerate or freeze until ready to decorate. This recipe was styled by chef Karen Pickus for Good Morning America. Click here to check out Buddy's cookbook.

The crumb of that variety is very nice too! It would be great if there was a taste test or some other way to compare moisture in each.

    The box mix "crowned" because he added waaay too much batter to the pan. That applies to all cakes; you add too much and it'll "crown" on you. . Other cons for the scratch mix are the equipment and ingredients. Let be honest, most people at home don't have a mixer (or any type of mixers) and could not afford the extra ingredients. Like the custard. I'm pretty sure he used pastry cream which means that you need to buy more eggs, cream, sugar, cornstarch (or flour) and vanilla pods (which are pretty expensive). Take this from a pro baker. I've been making cakes for a good while. He also didn't beat the box mix correctly. Your supposed to mix it for about 5 mins. That's why it came out with tunnels.
