If you’re looking for a classic cake recipe, look no further than the Simple White Cake. This vanilla cake recipe is sure to please everyone, from the novice baker to the experienced cake decorator.
To make this classic cake recipe, you will need all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, butter, granulated sugar, eggs, and milk. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (177°C). Then, in a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy.
Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Once everything is combined, divide the batter evenly between two greased and lightly floured 9-inch (23cm) round cake pans.
Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, the cakes are ready to be frosted and decorated. Use your favorite frosting and decorations, or keep it simple with a dusting of powdered sugar and a few fresh berries.
No matter how you dress it up, you can’t go wrong with this classic Simple White Cake. Enjoy!
