Description

This Vanilla Cake boasts an irresistible flavor and stays moist for four days. It’s perfect for any occasion, featuring a blend of simple ingredients like eggs, milk, and the finest vanilla for a tasty treat that everyone will enjoy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups plain / all purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp cooking salt
  • 4 large eggs, at room temp
  • 1 1/2 cups caster / superfine sugar
  • 115g unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 1 cup milk, full fat
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tsp vegetable or canola oil
  • 225g unsalted butter, softened
  • 500g soft icing sugar / powdered sugar, sifted
  • 3 tsp vanilla extract
  • 24 tbsp milk, to adjust thickness

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F (160°C fan) and let it warm for 20 minutes before making the batter. Ensure the shelf is in the middle of the oven.
  • Grease two 20cm / 8” cake pans with butter and line them with parchment paper. It’s best to use pans without a loose base.

Notes

For best results, ensure your baking powder is still active to achieve a fluffy cake.
Using room temperature eggs helps incorporate air and creates a lighter batter.
