Here's a simple vanilla cake recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (240ml) whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
5. Combine Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Bake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool:
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
Enjoy your vanilla cake!
