The chemical formula of so-called yellow cake (ammonium diuranate) is (NH4)2U2O7.
For cake as in fruit cake or sponge cake no. For cake as used in the uranium processing industry yellow cake is a mixture containing principally U3O8
A common substance that will have a yellow color is the element sulfur (S). Another substance of similar brilliant color is yellow cake uranium (Ur).
no cake is a chemical mixture
Sponge Cake
Chemical change. Physical changes (like melting) can be undone. But you cannot unbake a cake.

I recall uranium as being called yellow cake as yellow cake uranium
Yellow cake (ammonium diuranate) is obtained by adding ammonium hydroxide to an uranyl nitrate solution. After this ammonium diuranate is dried, calcined and reduced with hydrogen to obtain uranium dioxide powder.
A yellow cake is a figurative term for uranium ore.
You think probable to "yellow cake".Yellow cake is uranium diuranate - (NH4)2U2O7.
The yellow cake [ammonium diuranate - (NH4)2U2O7] is of course.... yellow.
Now, no uranium mines in Myanmar.
Yellow-cake isn't a natural substance. It's formed by the processing of Uranium Ore with chemicals and grinding, the first step to enriching Uranium for use in a reactor or a bomb. I guess you could describe it as an 'Ore'
The simple exposure to natural uranium is not so dangerous because the gamma radiation emitted is not so energetic and also it is auto-absorbed in the uranium material. The danger is to inhale or to ingest uranium compounds.
A common substance that will have a yellow color is the element sulfur (S). Another substance of similar brilliant color is yellow cake uranium (Ur).
It is pretty much a plain cake mix that doesn't contain an extra flavor. It is called yellow not plain because there are two types of plain, white and yellow. The difference is that white uses only egg white while yellow uses the yolks. There is also a slight difference in the type of flour used. Also a white cake taste a lot better & is loved more than a yellow cake but both of them are very good. --------------------------------------------------- If you were baking from scratch the yellow colour would come from whole eggs or extra egg yolks, and butter. A white cake would use shortening instead of butter and maybe only egg whites.
