This simple white cake recipe is great for all occasions. Whether you’re hosting a birthday, anniversary, or just having a get-together, this classic cake recipe is sure to please.
Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, beat together one cup of butter and 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating until each is fully incorporated.
Add in the dry ingredients, alternating with 1 cup of milk. Stir until just combined. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and stir.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Frost with your favorite icing or glaze. Enjoy!
