This simple white cake recipe is a classic that every baker should know. It’s a great basic cake to have in your repertoire, perfect for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. And the best part? It’s incredibly easy to make!

To make a simple white cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:

– 3 cups all-purpose flour
– 2 teaspoons baking powder
– ½ teaspoon salt
– 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
– 2 cups sugar
– 4 large eggs
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– 1 cup whole milk

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans and set aside.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla.

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients.

Divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, frost as desired and enjoy!
