Try to have your oil at room temperature and aerate your flour before measuring. This was not an easy recipe to perfect so for a good result, do not make any changes. - Jenny Jones

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (less 2 Tablespoons) cool water
1/3 cup vegetable oil (I use avocado oil)
1 Tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  • Place dry ingredients into a bowl and combine well, stirring or whisking until thoroughly blended.
  • In a small bowl, combine water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla.

  • Pour into pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool completely in the pan and frost. (try my 2-Minute Vanilla Frosting)

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients mix together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can toughen the cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from sinking in the middle.
  • Don't open the oven door during baking: This can cause the cake to fall.
  • Use a toothpick or cake tester to check for doneness: Insert the toothpick or cake tester into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

This vanilla cake is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, yet delicious and versatile. You can dress it up with frosting, sprinkles, or fruit, or keep it simple and enjoy it plain. No matter how you serve it, this vanilla cake is sure to be a hit.
