Did you try this with success? I am looking to do the same for my son’s 3rd birthday!

I rarely comment on blogs but this recipe is perfection. Absolute perfection. The flavor, the crumb and moistness. Delicious. I live at 4.500 altitude and STILL PERFECTION. Thank you for a wonderful forever birthday cake recipe!

Also, should note I substituted the canola oil with avocado oil. And I doubled and baked in 3 9″ pans. What a huge amazing cake!

In reply to Tracey.

because you have been lied to and seed oils are not unhealthy. The meta analysis of literally thousands of studies show that. You need to stop listening to uneducated influencers and maybe listen to educated scientists, dieticians and doctors who show study after study that prove not only are they healthy but they lower unhealthy hdl’s and lower the risk of heart disease.

This is one special birthday cake which sliced beautifully. The best yellow cake with chocolate frosting we have ever tasted. The frosting tasted like fudge.

So tender and delicious. The almond flour really does make a difference. I made three different yellow cake recipes to compare and this recipe was everyone’s favorite.

What are your ideas for serving cake without frosting?

Why do most “bakers” recommend seed oils as an oil to use when a neutral oil such as unflavored coconut works and is healthy ?

Hi, how many cupcakes would this recipe make?

In reply to Sheri. I have subbed the almond with equal amounts all-purpose flour. It does work, but it isn't quite as delicate.
