If you’re looking for a classic cake recipe, look no further than a simple white cake. A vanilla cake recipe is a timeless classic that’s sure to please your family and friends. Making this classic cake recipe is easy and straightforward with a few simple ingredients and techniques.
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour one 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 1 1/2 cups white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, mix together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, alternating with 1 cup of milk.
Pour the batter into the greased and floured cake pan. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Your classic cake is now ready to enjoy. You can frost with a vanilla buttercream or simply dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
