This Simple White Cake recipe is a classic cake recipe that has been passed down through generations. It’s a delicious, moist and fluffy vanilla cake that’s perfect for any occasion.
To make this classic cake recipe, you will need:
– 2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– 1 cup whole milk
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, and mixing after each addition.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve your Simple White Cake with a dollop of whipped cream or your favorite frosting!
