If you’re looking for classic cake recipes, you can’t go wrong with a Simple White Cake or Vanilla cake. Both of these recipes are easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
To make a Simple White Cake, you’ll need 2 and 2/3 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 4 eggs, and 1 cup of milk.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes before turning them out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Frost with your favorite frosting.
