Here are a few simple cake recipes for you to try:
1. Classic Vanilla Cake
Ingredients:
• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake
pans.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5
minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla
extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk,
beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out
clean.
8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire
racks to cool completely.
