If you are looking for a classic and easy cake recipe, then a Simple White Cake is the perfect choice. This simple, yet delicious cake is made with just four ingredients and is sure to please any crowd.
To make this classic cake, you will need one cup of butter, two and a half cups of self-rising flour, one and a half cups of granulated sugar, and three large eggs. Preheat your oven to 350°F before beginning.
To begin, start by creaming the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each egg is added. Once all the eggs are combined, add the self-rising flour and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into a greased and floured 9”x13” cake pan and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Once the cake is finished baking, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning it out onto a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting, if desired.
This Simple White Cake can also be used as a base for other classic cake recipes. Try adding a few drops of vanilla extract to the batter for a Vanilla Cake, or add a teaspoon of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a spiced cake.
No matter how you decide to make it, the Simple White Cake is sure to be a hit with any crowd. Enjoy!
