Recipe for a soft & tender cake from scratch

I have done so much baking as it is a hobby of mine and I can tell you that I have yet to make a scratch cake that was light and fluffy.
They come out more like a pound cake.
It is expensive ,time consuming and I have given up on it.
Here is a recipe that you can try.Good luck!
Bakin'n'Bacon: Fluffy Yellow Layer Cake

If you are looking for something 'your own' and different, start with a mix and then add stuff. It is sooo much fun to experiment!:D

It has to do with the eggs and how they are mixed in with the butter and sugar. Mix in one at a time and beat well. That aerates the batter. Measure the flour exactly and add gradually. Make sure the baking soda or powder is fresh. Follow directions exactly.
