VANILLA CAKE RECIPE
serves:8. Total time:55 min
Cook time:30 min. Oven temp:400 degrees
1 1/2 cup(s) of sifted cake flour; 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt; 1/2 cup(s) (one stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup(s) sugar; 2 large eggs, room temperature; 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract; 1/2 cup(s) whole milk.
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly coat an 8-inch pan with butter and dust with all purpose flour. Sift the cake flour, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
2. Beat in the butter one heaping 1/4 teaspoon at a time, using an electric mixer set on low speed, until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Beat in the sugar a tablespoon at a time, until the mixture resembles fine, damp sand. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Add the vanilla and milk, and beat on medium-high, just until blended. DO NOT OVER BEAT.
3. Pour into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick comes out clean- 30 to 35 minutes. Cool cake on a wire stand for 5 minutes or until cool. After that I suggest to have a icing that is store bought, or you can find a recipe and make your own. Then take the cake out and ice it with the store bought or home made icing.
