Cake
Whenever I make a cake in Utah, it ends up super dry. I think it's the altitude. Anyone from/living in Utah have any cake recipes that actually work?

Ohhhhhhh, maybe that's why my yellow cakes aren't turning out very good. Huh. Didn't think of that.
The Epistler was quite honestly knocked on her ethereal behind by the sheer logic of this.

Re: Cake
If you google how to adjust baking for high altitude, there's stuff you can play with.

Any cake recipe with sour cream in it. So moist.

Re: Cake
The cakes get super oily because the other liquids evaporate, and the cake rises too fast and then falls too quickly, resulting in a rubbery, oily cake. Increasing non-oil liquids, decreasing baking powder, and baking at a higher temperature all have to work together. Reducing oil would work, but depending on the recipe, you'd just end up with a super-dry cake.
