If you are looking for classic cake recipes, you have come to the right place! Whether you are looking for a simple white cake or a more elaborate vanilla cake recipe, we have you covered.
If you are a beginner baker and are looking for an easy cake to make, a simple white cake is a great place to start. This recipe is made up of some basic ingredients you likely already have in your pantry and is sure to be a hit at any event.
To make the cake, you’ll need 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of butter, 1 ¾ cups of white sugar, 4 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 ½ cups of milk.
Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two round 9-inch cake pans.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
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 extract.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk, mixing until all ingredients are incorporated.
Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans.
Once cooled, you can ice the cakes with your favorite icing. Enjoy!
