Vanilla Cake
This vanilla cake recipe is easy to make, with simple ingredients, no butter, and stays moist for several days!
Ingredients
- 5 Eggs
- 2 Cups Granulated Sugar
- 1 Cup Vegetable oil
- 3 ¾ Cups Cake Flour (Or All-purpose flour)
- 1 ½ Cups Milk
- 1 Tbsp Baking Powder
- Pinch Salt
- 1 Tbsp Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- In a bowl, add eggs, vanilla, and salt. Beat on high until foamy.
- Add sugar and beat for 2-3 minutes or until the mixture is lighter in color.
- Add vegetable oil and mix on low speed until combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder. It is always best to sift the flour and baking powder but if you want to make this faster, just add them to a bowl and mix them with a whisk.
- Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Mix just until each addition is incorporated before adding the next. Start with the flour and finish with the milk.
- Allow the batter to rest for 5-10 minutes. You will notice air bubbles forming on the surface.
- Meanwhile, grease your pan and pour the batter in. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles and wrap the pan with baking strips or damp towels.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 165℃ (329℉) for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to slightly cool in the pan before removing it. Transfer the cake to a cooling rack and allow to cool at room temperature.
- Decorate with frosting of your choice or serve as is. If you want to fill and decorate the cake, make sure it is COMPLETELY cool so that the frosting doesn't melt. Enjoy!
