How to Make Yellow Crumb Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, 1 cup milk, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute.
  5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and beat for another minute.
  6. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
  9. For the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat 1 large egg white until stiff peaks form.
  10. Gradually beat in 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar until thick and glossy.
  11. Beat in 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a few drops of yellow food coloring (to desired intensity) until stiff, about 5-7 minutes.
  12. Frost the cooled cake, slice, and enjoy!
