This Simple White Cake is a classic recipe that will never go out of style. It’s perfect for a birthday, a special occasion, or just because you feel like having a sweet treat. This cake is light, fluffy, and full of vanilla flavor. Plus, it’s surprisingly easy to make.
To get started, you’ll need a few simple ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk 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 in the vanilla extract.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely. When cool, you can spread your favorite frosting between the layers and on the top and sides of the cake. Enjoy!
