Easy and Moist Vanilla Cake Recipe

Introduction:

My favourite vanilla cake recipe is this one. This is a traditional butter cake, but Japanese techniques are used to create the most moist, soft, and fluffy yellow cake you've ever had. It's unheard of that this expertly baked cake remains moist and fresh for four days! For flawless vanilla cupcakes, use the same batter.

📋 Ingredients:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• ½ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
• ½ cup milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt

Instructions:

First, preheat the oven.

Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F). Line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper and grease it.

Step 2: Combine the dry ingredients.

Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. Put aside.

Step 3: Combine Wet Substances.

Beat the eggs and sugar in a separate bowl until they are light and fluffy. Pour in the milk, oil, and vanilla. Mix well.

Step 4: Combine.

Add dry ingredients into the wet mixture gradually. Mix until just combined. Don’t overmix.

Step 5: Bake.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool & Decorate.

Let the cake cool completely before frosting. Decorate with whipped cream, fruits, or sprinkles.
