If you’re looking for a classic cake recipe to whip up for your next special occasion, look no further than this Simple White Cake. With just a handful of ingredients and minimal effort, you can have a delicious vanilla cake ready in no time.
To begin, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of butter (at room temperature), 1 1/2 cups of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy.
Add 4 large eggs (one at a time) to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two batches, beating until just combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool completely before turning them out of the pans and frosting.
Once the cakes have cooled, you can frost them with your favorite frosting. Then, you’ve got yourself a delicious and classic Simple White Cake!
