If you’re looking for an easy and delicious cake recipe, you can’t go wrong with a classic white cake. This simple vanilla cake recipe is perfect for any occasion, from birthdays to potlucks. It’s light, fluffy, sweet, and sure to be a hit with all your family and friends.
To make this classic cake, you’ll need all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and greasing two 8-inch round pans.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Alternate adding the flour mixture and the milk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the flour. Once all the ingredients are incorporated, divide the batter between the two prepared pans and spread evenly.
Bake for about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
Once the cakes are cool, you can frost them with your favorite icing. Enjoy your classic white cake!
