A good way to use the leftover egg yolks, A moist and tender cake.
I always wanted to develop a recipe that uses only egg yolks. When I am making Swiss Meringue Butter Cream Swiss Meringue Buttercream or lemon curd, I will have a lot of egg yolk left over. This all-egg yolk cake recipe is the best way to use up these yolks. Egg yolk contains a good amount of fat which makes the cake texture very tender and moist. The texture is as light and fluffy as the sponge cake, but it is moister and not as dry.
About This Recipe
- Never throw out the egg yolk left over anymore. This recipe is one of the best ways to use up the egg yolks from another recipe.
- Egg yolks contain some protein and a lot of fat which adds flavor and makes the cake more tender and moist.
- This All Egg Yolk Cake is very easy to prepare and will pair up with coffee or tea perfectly.
- I have used a Bundt cake pan to make this cake, however, round pans will do the trick.
- There is one teaspoon of lemon extract in this recipe, but any other flavor or extract will work.
- Because there are only egg yolks used here, the cake looks more yellow compared to other cakes that use whole eggs. So this recipe can be used to make a yellow cake, and frost it with chocolate frosting.
- This cake serves well with a scoop of ice cream or fruit puree such as strawberries.
