A yellow cake is just a regular old cake that probably tastes like vanilla. One of the most common cakes I know of, along with chocolate. Good job with the ingredients though! I missed salt :(
Everyone knows yellow cake! Yellow cake is a type of uranium concentrate powder obtained from leach solutions, in an intermediate step in the processing of uranium ores. It is a step in the processing of uranium after it has been mined but before fuel fabrication or uranium enrichment. Yellow cake concentrates are prepared by various extraction and refining methods, depending on the types of ores.
Baking soda is not the same thing as baking powder. Baking powder is a combination of baking soda and cream of tartar because baking soda is a base and requires acid to activate its leavening power (bubbles). This quiz only listed eight ingredients so baking powder is the only one which fits. (Baking soda is usually only used when baking ingredients that have additional acid added, such as vinegar, lemon juice, buttermilk, honey, etc.)
Bitterness suppresses the tastes of sweet and sour. Salt suppresses bitterness. So rather than actually enhancing the sweetness, salt prevents the sweetness from being suppressed, therefore making food taste better. It is also believed that salt releases more aromatics from our food. http://sciencefare.org/2013/07/10/why-does-salt-make-almost-everything-taste-better/
It may sound very odd, but sometimes i put salt on cookies... otherwise it is sweet on sweet on sweet and tastes boring and like nothing.
They seemed to have put less and less salt in things like that though.
Stupidly enough they put more and more sugar in the strangest things ( often making it worse than the versions wihout) like chips/crisps (all flavours), pizza, bread, soup, pastasauce. There are much more ridiculous examples, I just cant think of them atm. I often check the ingredients. But not allways, and sometimes I think, yuck this taste pretty gross, and I look and they have put some sort of sugar in it again.
In products if you made it at home from fresh you wouldnt even think of adding it (and most times not for preservative reasons, because often there are (if you look hard enough) versions without sugar)
And no, I am not some sort of health freak before people feel the need to tear me down or something.
Boxed cake mixes usually call for oil, but most yellow "scratch" cake recipes begin with creaming butter and sugar together. Oil makes cakes lighter but butter gives finer texture, and I prefer the flavor. Butter cakes dry out faster, though. Lately I've been seeing recipes where there are combinations of oil and butter to give the best of both worlds. Grandma would shudder at the thought, but in today's world I'd say oil should also be accepted.
The author of this quiz clearly forgot the two primary ingredients of cake (and everything else) in the modern world: high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated soybean oil.
I forgot eggs and I was in the American Cakes elective at my school. Please don't kill me Ms. Palulis... Also the second ingredient in cake is apparently not cake. Who knew?
Nice! Think this must be an American sponge cake recipe though ‘cause we don’t add vanilla or salt here in the UK and milk only for certain recipes... sounds good though all the same! :P ;)
I got a lot of them, but because of the influence of minecraft from all these years, the first ones i put in were eggs, milk, sugar, and i even tried wheat XD
I tried baking soda, bicarbonate of soda, yeast and rising agent. They might not be the same as baking powder, but cultural differences should really be taken into account. Those are all legit answers in my opinion.

I had no idea it was so easy to make.
It's more likely to be petroleum-derived orange azo dye. Quiz master should accept 'yellow food colouring'.

Some amount of salt is in basically everything.
For those who doubt.
we do not have 'yellow cake'. in UK but guessed it was more or less a basic cake mix
I've never heard about yellowcake as an actual cake.
