Easy White Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.75 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon table salt
• 0.5 cup milk

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square cake pan. Gather all ingredients for this simple cake recipe.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together sugar and butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing briefly after each addition, about 30 seconds total. Stir in vanilla extract for approximately 15 seconds.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix on low speed until just combined, scraping down sides as needed, for about 2 minutes.
4. Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 30 minutes.
6. Take the cake out of the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely before frosting. Serve and enjoy your easy white cake!
