For most baking recipes, you can simply double the ingredients. Eggs, flour, sugar, butter, even vanilla extract, can be doubled for almost any recipe you make. Just times the amounts by 2 – and be sure to do it for ALL the ingredients (don’t forget!)
The answer is “YES” you can double your yellow cake recipe with out any problems or adjustments. When you multiply recipes you have to understand the techniques/methods of baking. So when a recipe tells you ‘beat until light and creamy, 5 minutes beating on medium speed.’ you have to forget times and make adjustments.
If you are making two cakes and baking your cake in the same size pans as the recipe recommends, the recipe will turn out fine. If you are trying to bake a larger version of your cake, you may need to reduce the amount of baking powder to ensure that your cake rises properly. You would reduce 1/4 tsp for every cup of flour in the recipe.
When I am baking, can I just double or triple a recipe, or do I have to make other adjustments? When you double or triple recipes for cakes, muffins, cookies and other baked goods, you should be mathematically precise when you double (or triple) the ingredients, but not the cooking times.
