Easy Vanilla Cake

19 Ratings 6 Reviews 6 Photos

This vanilla cake is like, the best cake I

have ever made. It's not too bland,
and it's not too sweet. This is great for
all occasions and easy to do in your
spare time.

Step 2

Mix flour, sugar, baking powder,

vanilla extract, and salt together in a
bowl. Add eggs, milk, and vegetable
oil. Mix by hand or use an electric
mixer on low speed until smooth. Add
more flour if batter is too runny. Pour
into the prepared pan.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until a

toothpick inserted into the center of
the cake comes out clean, about 1
hour.

Step 4

Remove from the oven and let cool, 15

to 30 minutes. Transfer to the
refrigerator to chill slightly, 15 to 30
minutes more. Slice the cooled cake
through the middle to make 2 layers.

Ok first thing i did was scale back the

amount of flour because it calls for way too

1/2 cups of flour. If you make it with the
amount it calls for you will need to add…

milk because it is way to thick. If
need to you can always add more. I
personally wentADVERTISEMENT
to baking and pastry
school so i seen the scale of flour and knew
it would be way to thick. Secondly i only
made half the recipe because i wanted to
try it out before my daughters birthday
which isElle

add just a little more sugar if you want a
sweet cake though. If your looking for
