The Best Vanilla Cake Recipe

This is one of my favorite cake recipes. It’s easy to make and delicious, so there’s no need for any special occasion to make it!

To make this cake recipe, you will need:

●     2 cups all-purpose flour (we use cake flour here)

●     1 cup sugar (we use brown sugar here)

●     1 tablespoon baking powder

●     ½ teaspoon salt    (we use kosher salt here)    (You can also substitute ¾ teaspoon salt if you want a stronger flavor.)

●     Ingredients:

●     1 cup unsalted butter, softened (or substitute 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup vegetable oil)

●     2 cups granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling on top of the cake when serving it

●     3 eggs, separated (about 2 yolks per egg), at room temperature

●     1 teaspoon vanilla extract or paste [optional]

 

This is the cake I made for my husband's birthday. It's a basic vanilla cupcake with cream cheese frosting and homemade sprinkles.

I preheated my oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to make the cake and greased 12-cup muffin tin. I then sifted the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large mixing bowl. Next, I added the eggs one at a time and mixed them into the dry ingredients using an electric mixer at medium speed.
