If you’re looking for a classic cake recipe, look no further than this simple white cake! This delicious and simple vanilla cake is sure to be a hit with family and friends.
To make this classic cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:
– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– 4 large eggs, at room temperature
– 1 cup whole milk
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing and flouring two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and set aside.
Using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla extract, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until all ingredients are well blended.
Divide the batter between the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes have cooled, you can frost them with your favorite frosting. Enjoy!
