I already have a Gluten Free Yellow Cake Recipe on this site, but it calls for my Self-Rising Gluten Free Cake Flour Blend. Since creating that recipe over two years ago, I find that my Gluten Free All Purpose Flour Blend Recipe works much better in gluten free cake recipes, provided you add a bit more oil or butter compared to gluten cakes. This yellow cake recipe is much richer than a normal yellow cake. It contains tons of butter, is moist, but is not heavy like pound cakes. Use it as a substitute for any gluten free yellow cake. Feel free to decrease the butter to make a more traditional yellow cake. Meanwhile, all of your gluten-eating friends will even enjoy this cake.
I used this cake for a Boston cream pie filled with Gluten Free Pastry Cream, and topped it with Gluten Free Chocolate Ganache. It was so delicious – definitely a guilty pleasure. I did, however, have to use toothpicks between the layers to prevent the top layer from sliding off. It is a bit heavier than a regular gluten free yellow cake.
In the photo below, you will see a single layer cut to make a three-layer cake.

Tips
One of the flour choices in my all-purpose flour blend is tapioca (or cornstarch). I provide cornstarch as an alternative because I am allergic to tapioca. I used cornstarch in this cake recipe. I just wanted you to know, in case you want it to turn out exactly the same as mine. If you are concerned about GMO in corn products, note that Bob's Red Mill cornstarch is non-GMO.
To make the cake a deeper yellow, add a pinch of turmeric spice, and the flavor goes undetected.

Why do you use egg yolks and not whole eggs in your recipe? Could whole eggs be substituted?
Lorraine,
Yellow butter cake is traditionally a heavy cake made with tons of rich ingredients such as butter and egg yolk. If you wish to use whole eggs in a cake, please see my yellow cake recipe - http://glutenfreerecipebox.com/gluten-free-yellow-cake/. There is also an inexpensive yellow cake mix recipe at - http://glutenfreerecipebox.com/copycat-betty-crocker-gluten-free-yellow-cake-mix-recipe/.

I was just wondering, did you mean your cake flour mix? Because the link sends me to that mix.
Oh my, Loyda! I not only added the incorrect link to the flour, but it appears I had forgotten to add the baking powder to the list of ingredients. It is all updated now. Good catch! Thanks so much. I hope you enjoy this recipe.
Happy New Year!
