If you’re looking for the perfect classic cake recipe, you’ve come to the right place! Cakes are a staple of any special occasion, and there are so many amazing cake recipes out there. From the classic white cake to the more exotic vanilla cake, the possibilities are endless.
To start, let’s take a look at a classic white cake recipe. This recipe is simple and straightforward, and yields a tender cake that can be dressed up with any number of frostings. Here’s what you’ll need:
– 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
– 1-3/4 cups sugar
– 2 large eggs, at room temperature
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 cup milk, at room temperature
To make the cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until fully incorporated. Beat in the vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and spread it out evenly.
Bake the cakes for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
And there you have it: a classic white cake recipe that will be a hit at any event. Enjoy!
