Full Sheet Cake Recipe

Cake Directions

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure a proper baking temperature.

2. 2

   Prepare the Baking Sheet

   Grease a full sheet cake pan with butter or non-stick spray, and optionally line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

3. 3

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

4. 4

   Cream Butter and Sugar

   In another bowl, using an electric mixer, combine the softened butter and granulated sugar. Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

5. 5

   Add Eggs and Vanilla

   Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.

6. 6

   Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined; do not overmix.

7. 7

   Pour into Pan

   Pour the batter into the prepared sheet cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

8. 8

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. 9

   Cool the Cake

   Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
