If you’re looking for a classic cake recipe, you’ve come to the right place! Whether you’re looking for a classic white cake, a vanilla cake, or a simple cake recipe that you can make in no time at all, we’ve got you covered.
To make a classic white cake, you will need the following ingredients: 2½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of unsalted butter (at room temperature), 2 cups of white sugar, 4 eggs (separated), 1 cup of buttermilk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottom of the pans with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks, one at a time, and beat until combined. Beat in the buttermilk and vanilla extract. Gradually add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the batter, taking care not to overmix. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can frost the cake with your favorite frosting. Enjoy!
