Categories     Cake

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups sugar, Baker's Special Sugar preferred
3 1/4 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, soft
1 1/4 cups milk, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease and flour your choice of pan(s): one 9" x 13" pan, two 9" round cake pans, three 8" round pans, or the wells of two muffin tins (24 muffin cups). You can also line the muffin tins with papers, and spray the insides of the papers. 1) In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt. 2) Add the butter and beat with an electric mixer at low speed, until the mixture looks sandy. 3) Combine the milk and vanilla and add, all at once. Mix at low speed for 30 seconds, then increase the speed to medium and beat for 30 seconds. 4) Scrape the bottom and sides of the mixing bowl. 5) With the mixer running at low speed, add 1 egg. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 30 seconds. 6) Repeat this procedure with the second egg. Continue adding the eggs, scraping after each addition, until all 4 are added. 7) After the last egg is added, scrape the bowl once more, then beat at medium-high speed for 30 more seconds. 8) Transfer the batter to the pans of your choice. For layers, divide the batter among the pans. Smooth out the tops with an offset spatula or the back of a tablespoon. For cupcakes, scoop by heaping 1/4-cupfuls into the prepared muffin tins. 9) Bake for 40 minutes for a 9" x 13" pan; 27 minutes for 9" layers; 24 minutes for 8" layers, or 23 to 25 minutes for cupcakes. 10. The cake is done when it's golden brown around the edges and just beginning to pull away from the edge of the pan. A toothpick inserted in the center will come out clean. 11) Remove the cake from the oven and place it on a rack to cool before removing it from the pan.

I've made this cake several times and it always turns out great! It's moist and fluffy, and the vanilla flavor is perfect. I love that it's not too sweet, so it's perfect for any occasion.

This cake is okay. It's not the best vanilla cake I've ever had, but it's not the worst either. The cake is a little dry, but the frosting is good. I probably won't make this cake again, but I wouldn't discourage anyone else from trying it.

I made this cake for a friend's birthday and it was a disaster! The cake was overcooked and the frosting was too runny. I was so embarrassed to give it to my friend. I won't be making this cake again.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the vanilla flavor was weak. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this cake again.

I'm not a big baker, but this cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a bundt pan and it cooked evenly. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the glaze was the perfect finishing touch.
