Are you ready to bake a classic Vanilla White Cake? It’s easy and delicious! This recipe uses simple ingredients, including flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla extract.
To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour the bottom and sides of two 8-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together 1 cup of butter and 1 3/4 cups of sugar until light and fluffy. Add in 2 eggs, one at a time, and beat until well incorporated. Add in 2 teaspoons of pure vanilla extract and beat until combined.
Alternate adding in the dry ingredients and 1 cup of milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.
Divide the cake batter between the two prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the cakes have cooled, use a serrated knife to level off the tops of the cakes. Place one of the cakes on a cake stand or plate. Spread a thin layer of frosting over the top of the cake. Place the other cake on top and spread frosting over the top and sides of the cake.
Enjoy your delicious Vanilla White Cake!
