If you’re in the mood for a classic cake recipe, look no further than this Simple White Cake. It’s an easy, no-fuss recipe that produces a moist, delicious cake that’s perfect for any occasion. The light, vanilla-scented cake is made with just a few basic ingredients, and can be served as-is or with a variety of toppings and frostings.
To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together two cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl, combine one cup of butter (at room temperature) with two cups of sugar until light and fluffy, then add four large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Then, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and one cup of milk to the egg mixture and mix until combined.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 40-45 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 before turning it out onto a cooling rack. Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
