To make the actual vanilla cake layers, you’ll simply mix together all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl. But for best results, use the pans called for!Īnd you’ll want to line the bottoms with parchment paper rounds AND generously grease! Otherwise you’ll run the risk of your cakes sticking. But a general rule of thumb is smaller pans would take longer to bake and larger pans would bake faster. Thankfully, assembling this cake is quite easy! First, you’ll need to prep those cake pans! This recipe calls for 3 9-inch pans, so be sure you have that before beginning! I have not tested this using smaller or larger cake pans, so I cannot advise on how that would work. To start, let’s square away the ingredients you’ll need! This cake calls for: cake flour (do not sub all-purpose flour!), baking powder and salt, baking soda, butter, sugar, vanilla extract (yes, 2 TABLESPOONS), almond extract (no, it doesn’t taste almond-y), eggs (you’ll use eggs and egg whites!), buttermilk, sour cream, and oil! I know you’re probably thinking… “whoa, that’s a lot of ingredients”, but I promise, this unique blend is what creates the magical taste and texture! I was on a mission to create a vanilla birthday cake that was super moist, buttery, and loaded with flavor! And that is exactly what this cake is, my friends! It’s intensely buttery, with a great pop of vanilla in every bite (thanks to 2 tablespoons of vanilla extract, baby)! The layers are somehow both light and fluffy… and dense and buttery! And how you decide to serve it is totally up to you! Because this cake can easily be covered in sprinkles, topped with fresh fruit, or drizzled with caramel sauce… and beyond! My point is, it’s pretty versatile! But my husband LOVES vanilla, so I was determined to create a recipe that was the exact opposite of what I just described! But honestly? Vanilla cake is not my favorite! It’s typically dry, bland, and boring. It’s no secret I LOVE cake! So it’s kind of crazy that up until now, I haven’t had a classic vanilla cake recipe to share with you. My Favorite Vanilla Cake Recipe is light and fluffy and covered in vanilla buttercream frosting! The perfect birthday cake for vanilla lovers! But also perfect for special occasions like Easter, Mother’s Day, and 4th of July!
