Yield Makes 1 (13- by 9-inch) cake or 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs, kept at room temperature for 30 minutes
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3/4 cup whole milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour a 13- by 9-inch metal baking pan (not dark) or 2 (8- or 9-inch) round pans.
  • Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer (fitted with paddle if using a standing mixer) at medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Beat in eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla, and beat until thoroughly incorporated, about 5 minutes. Mix in flour mixture in 4 batches alternately with milk at low speed, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix until batter is just smooth, then spread evenly in pan.
  • Bake cake in middle of oven until it begins to pull away from sides of pan and a tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes (cake will be pale in color, not golden brown like a cake-mix cake). Cool 5 minutes in pan, then invert onto a rack and cool completely.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it twice now and it's turned out perfectly both times.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. The frosting was also too runny.

I'm not a baker, but this recipe was easy to follow and the cake turned out great! It was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was the perfect amount of sweetness.

The cake was easy to make and turned out perfect. I used a 9x13 inch pan and baked it for 30 minutes. The frosting was a little too sweet for my taste, but overall the cake was delicious.

This cake was a hit at my party! It was moist and fluffy, and the frosting was creamy and delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
