Are there any good yellow cake recipes?

I want to make a yellow cake from scratch but i don't want a cornmeal tasting cake. but that seems to be all I can find. Does anyone have any? Are there any good yellow cake recipes?
I think you're getting cornbread mixed up with yellow cake.





If you're looking for a sweet yellow cake, I use this one frequently.

Instead of yellow cake, look for Butter cake.





Ingredients


1 cup (1/2 lb.) butter, softened


1 1/2 cups sugar


3 large eggs


3 large egg yolks


1 tablespoon vanilla


3 1/4 cups cake flour


2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder


1/4 teaspoon salt


1 1/4 cups milk


Preparation





1. In a bowl, with a mixer on medium-high speed (use the paddle attachment if using a standing mixer), beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale yellow, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs, then yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Beat in vanilla.





2. In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir (or beat at low speed) about a third of the flour mixture into butter mixture. Stir in half the milk just until blended. Stir in another third of the flour mixture, then remaining milk, followed by remaining flour. Scrape batter equally into two buttered and floured 9-inch round cake pans and spread level.





3. Bake in a 350掳 regular or convection oven until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool on racks in pans for 10 minutes, then invert cakes onto racks and remove pans. Cool completely before frosting.
