I've made many yellow / vanilla cakes over the years, including a couple of multi-tier wedding cakes for GF brides. I'm a guy, and bake very seldomly, but I was determined to give my wife (who has celiacs) a proper birthday cake, so I learned how.

By far the best thing I've found is:

This Book - use the recipes, and specifically, the flour mix they recommend in here.
It comes down to the quality of your rice flour. I highly recommend this particular superfine flour in addition to potato and tapioca starch (the latter two you can get super cheap at Asian markets, but don't skimp on the rice flour)

Edit: Also, never, ever buy frosting. Make your own. Fresh frosting plus the vanilla cake recipe from the book I linked will be the best cake you've ever had, gluten free or not.

Her Gluten Free Baking Classics book is amazing. Caveat emptor though, the ingredients you'll need to buy will cost you close to $100 but it's worth it.

My love for Gluten-Free Baking Classics burns hot like a thousand suns. Really, it helped me a lot. Plus collecting all new flours and starches and playing with them was lots of fun :)

The pie crust recipe in this book is amazing. Omit sugar for a savory recipe.
