Cakes are a classic dessert that can be enjoyed for any and all occasions. Whether you’re planning for a birthday, anniversary, or just a special treat for your family, a delicious cake is just what you need. Today, we’re going to look at how to make a Simple White Cake. This classic cake recipe is delicious, easy to make, and perfect for any occasion.
To start, you’ll need the following ingredients:
-2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-1 teaspoon baking powder
-1/2 teaspoon baking soda
-1/2 teaspoon salt
-1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature
-2 cups sugar
-4 large eggs
-1 cup buttermilk
-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Now that you have all of your ingredients, let’s get started.
Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can frost the cakes with your favorite frosting. Enjoy!
