The Most Delicious Vanilla Cake Recipe You've Ever Tried - You Won't Believe How Easy it is to Make!
Ingredients You'll Need
To make this delicious treat, you'll need 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 cup of unsalted butter, 2 cups of white sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 cup of milk.
Instructions for Making the Cake
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lightly greasing two 9-inch round baking pans. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix together. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each egg. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk to the butter mixture until everything is well combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared baking pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting.
Frosting Instructions
To make the frosting, you'll need 2 cups of confectioners’ sugar, 1 cup of unsalted butter, 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 2-3 tablespoons of milk. Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined. Add the milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Putting it All Together
Once the cakes have cooled, spread the frosting between the two layers and on top of the cake. Sprinkle with whatever decorations you'd like, and enjoy!
