Ah, cake! Is there anything more delicious? Whether you’re looking for a simple and classic cake recipe, or something a bit more fancy, there’s a cake recipe out there for everyone. One of the most popular classic cake recipes is the Simple White Cake. This is a great choice for any occasion and is surprisingly easy to make.
To make this cake, you will need: 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, ¾ cup of butter (at room temperature), 1 cup of white sugar, 2 eggs, ¾ cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until fully incorporated. Alternate adding the flour mixture and milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Finally, stir in the vanilla extract. Pour the cake batter into the greased cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool for a few minutes before turning it out onto a wire cooling rack. Once it’s completely cooled, you can choose to leave it plain or frost it with your favorite frosting.
Enjoy your Simple White Cake!
