Base Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot enough to bake the vanilla cake evenly.
Prepare the Baking Pan
Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Mixing
Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until combined.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Baking
Pour Batter into Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly.
Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cooling and Serving
Cool the Cake
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve
Slice the vanilla cake and serve as is or with your favorite frosting or toppings.
