Vanilla Cake

-


An easy Vanilla Cake with a soft and moist crumb and great vanilla flavor. We used our popular Buttercream Frosting here but it’s also fantastic with a Chocolate Frosting. This Vanilla cake recipe is the perfect base for a birthday cake or any special occasion.




Why we Love this Vanilla Cake!

Everyone needs a great vanilla cake base and I hope this becomes your new favorite! It’s made from scratch and the combination of ingredients gives it amazing texture and flavor. We used the same base as our famous Vanilla Cupcakes and made this stunning cake. You’ll love the perfectly level cake layers – there’s no need to trim them.



How to Make a Vanilla Cake from Scratch:

Here is a quick visual reference for homemade vanilla cake. Get the full print-friendly recipe below.

  1. Butter and flour two 9″ cake pans and preheat oven to 350˚F.
  2. Whisk together dry ingredients.
  3. With an electric mixer, beat Butter and Sugar 5 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs 1 at a time then beat in vanilla.
  5. Add flour mixture in thirds alternating with buttermilk and mixing between each addition.
  6. Divide between 2 cake pans and bake at 350˚F for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes then transfer cakes (we use this cake release tool) to a wire rack and cool completely before frosting.

How to Frost a Cake:

Frosting a cake is the fun part. Once your cake is fully at room temperature, make your Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. We love the vintage vibe of waves in the frosting like we did with our chocolate cake but you can also crumb coat the cake and pipe the frosting onto the cake.

  1. Place the first cake layer on a cake platter.
  2. Spread a generous layer of frosting over the top, going to the edges.
  3. Cover with the second cake layer with the top side down for a perfectly level cake surface.
  4. Coat the top and sides of the cake with remaining frosting and use an offset spatula or spoon to create waves in the cake.

Add sprinkles if desired. Sprinkles are the easiest way to turn a plain cake into a birthday cake!

Our Best Baking Tips:

  • Room temperature ingredients are critical so your batter blends well without separating or becoming grainy.
  • Avoid Substitutions! We always recommend trying the recipe as written before experimenting.
  • Measure Correctly – check out our post on how we measure ingredients for baking.
  • Weigh your pans – we use a digital food scale to make sure the layers are evenly divided.

How to Keep Leftover Cake Moist:

If you have sliced your cake and want to refrigerate leftovers for later, cover the cut side of the cake with plastic wrap, placing it directly onto the cake. This will prevent moisture loss and keep your cake from drying out.



Now enjoy your delicious vanilla cake!!!

Beef Steak

  How to cook perfect steak: First put the pan on the stove and turn on fire. Make it Hot. We are going to sear the steak and not boil it. We need to make sure to take the beef out of the fridge 30 minutes earlier otherwise it will over cooked out side and stoned cold inside.  How to seasoning it: To season it put salt and pepper according to taste. You can also add garlic powder. It will make the steak taste better. Then mop them up. Make sure to put the seasoning both side.  Put the steak on the pan: When Pan start smoking put some olive oil in it (you can also use canola or grapeseed oil) and spread it in all around the pan. Now put the steak flat on the pan. If one side is up you are going to get an uneven sear and it is going to cook unevenly. So press the steak down and get a nice even sear across the entire steak. After about 30 seconds turn it over. Sear the side fat cap for about 30-45 seconds. Then turn the steak every minute to get a nice color. Add garlic, but...
